Ondo state government has threatened to jail any church leader who flouts its ban on crossover services across the state due to COVID-19 pandemic.
The state government through the Ondo State Inter-ministerial Committee on COVID-19 had last week directed that the churches and mosques are not permitted to hold any service beyond 10:00 pm, in line with the ongoing curfew. Adding that it was to ensure the state records no substantial case during the second wave of the pandemic.
In its response, the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN, however, declared that it was not aware of the state government’s directive not to hold the crossover service.
