Coronavirus: Pastor Adeboye’s RCCG Reacts As Government Bans Religious Gatherings
The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has reacted to the ban placed on churches and mosques by the Lagos and Ogun governments on Wednesday.
A statement signed by the RCCG’s Assistant General Overseer (Admn & Personnel), Pastor J.F. Odesola and made available to TheCaveat.info on Wednesday night instructed RCCG branches with the average of fifty members or less, to go on with their services.
TheCaveat.info recalls that that the government of Lagos and Ogun state placed a ban on all religious gatherings involving over 50 worshippers.
The Government took the decision in agreement with religious leaders in the State, following the spread of the dreaded COVID-19 disease.
In adherence to the government instructions, the RCCG said churches that have the capacity to run more than one service should go on making sure members do not exceed 50.
Clarifying the directive on Thursday, Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotosho, however said the directive was advisory, not an enforced policy.
