Bello, in a statement issued in Lokoja on Thursday, said that lifting of the ban was to enable religious bodies to resume their normal worship and services.
The statement was signed by the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Kingsley Fanwo. He urged all religious leaders to put in place preventive and precautionary measures in their various worship centres in order to contain the outbreak and spread of coronavirus in the state. Specifically, the governor directed that hand sanitisers must be provided for worshippers at the entrances of all churches and mosques.“We also urge churches and mosques to make their services as brief as possible in order not to keep a large crowd of worshipers within enclosed confinement,” the governor said.Bello had on March 20 ordered the closure of public and private schools in the state indefinitely as part of measures in preventing the spread of coronavirus disease.
N'golo
Na wa o... Why would u lift a lockdown? Make sure u test everyone in church that day o
Stoopid government....
Wow these governors lifting ban , is it that Covid can’t enter these religious places
If you lift ban on religious gathering what’s the point of the whole social distancing.
see as e b like egungun inside jacket.
discas2001 awon tatatata.
Foolish move...who religion help?...can't u pray at home?.._upon all d religious gatherin still no peace in 9ja..poverty everywia..boko killin innocent pple everyday bad governance, wicked leaders..yet churches n mosque everywia..rubish
Really stupid.
He needs his share of d covik 19 largese, so he is engineering an outbreak, watch and see, they will soon start registering cases and d chopping will begin
Hmmm
I don't think he has a good reason for the act
Religious or Islamic?
Don't be surprise by the number of governors that will soon follow suit. Ondo and kastina Govs already lifted ban. When it comes to critical decisions like this, our 9ja Governors are Erratic, inconsistent and very lame in thinking 🤔
The question is is there really COVIDー19 in Nigeria, cos I don't understand knowing how deadly this Virus is Yet Governors in the North are lifing ban on religious gathering, is alright..
Most of these governors are playing politics with people's lives. SMH
What is wrong with us in this country.
There is no need for this. God hears prayer no matter one's location. The physical act of visiting a place of worship cannot take the place of true Godliness which is what is needed now to bring down God's mercy.
will only end in tears
Interesting
All these people are high on something o
Let's be practical here...this virus can't be curbed like this. What gave him the impression that what he advised will be adhered to strictly? Ain't doing this... This doesn't literally make sense...
Kogi has joined Katsina to ruin their people. I pray it does not get worse in weeks time. This is what happens when you elect clowns.
Those this guy realise that he shares a border with Abuja
Yaya Bello and Kante Hmm see resemblance 😂
What's all this na
Abi
Since they have been doing their religious gathering, nothing good has come out of this country. Keep gathering, religious hypocrites
Coronavirus be like...you people, I will see you in a giffy. Unless if this thing is not in Nigeria, but if it's what's killing them in USA, UK, Italy, Spain and Iran... We really need to be very careful till it's contained.
_LegalEyes
That's a bold step your Excellency.
And this one is a governor, 🤦♂️
This is a litmus test for the 1st Convid-19 cae in kogi state.
Is there any COVID in Kogi?
Abuja governors have started what they cannot fight against. My God is not in the house but inside of me.
when did Ngolo Kante become governor of Kogi state
Let him lead the example and see if it'll work
Hmmmmm... The madness begins
Religion will kill us
Abi... Kastina lifted it first
Bad!!!
Our religious beliefs are so poor. Praying and worshipping must not be in external building. Even Jesus told us to go into our closets and pray. This is a good news for pastors especially on tithes and offerings o🤣🤣🤣😃
It seems some states want cases before they have evidence to give a ban
A lift in the right direction?
Y’all shouldn’t be deceived, these people are up to something bad in Nigeria. Nigerians should wake up asap cuz these people don’t like us an inch. Very soon another state will do the same and the evil plans will kick start. KemiOlunloyo warned Nigerians will die
Federal government should sue this good for nothing governor. Who says, prayers can stop or cure virus. Prayers only work with obedience to God.
This religious madness will not destroy some idiots that find their way to government. Virus without vaccines. Some religious leaders welcomed this? Jesus Christ said, give unto Ceaser what's Ceaser and to God, whats God. Do not tempte the Lord. Sick people
The Agenda is getting clearer now!!..
Heaven only protect those who protect themselves
Poor decision. SocialDistancing is vital in reducing the exponential rate of transmission of COVID19Nigeria.
Once, a student involved in exam malpractice went and copy both the name & exam number of a fellow student. But in the case of Nigeria, the copy the lockdown & refuse to copy the palliatives too. Now the country is on a highway to revolution & civil unrest. DivideNigeriaNow
Thank you Jesus our prayers are working istandwithpastorChrisOyakhilome PastorChris
Smh
l think going to church/mosque to pray is also as important as going to market. D govt shd just ensure that d law enforcement agents go out to enforce compliance with d safety standards and erring religious leaders are dealt with. We shd not allow dis viirus to snatch God from us
Na wa ooooo,I don't think covid-19 really enter naija or na covid-18 dey here
Clueless everywhere. So people can not get infected by CoronaVirus during religious gatherings, but the can be infected only in economic gatherings. CallThisLockdownOff HungerVirus
This is why the vaccine 💉 is coming to Africa... you guys don’t listen... the world is scared of Africa... so... the vaccine...💉💉💉💉
This idiot is joking with fire. You cannot continue to apply arrogance to every situation.
Wetyn kante Dy do for kogi
The destructive spirit is very strong. Continue!
Don't get me wrong coz am all 4 complete adherence to common sense precautionary measures especially d ban on every type gathering. Problem's U see buses packed like sardines, frnds won't stop hanging out, pple exercising en mass. Q&a does Corona only thrives in place of worship
Do you all realize that coronavirus has made us all forgot about Judas iscaroit ? He sold Jesus today Incase we have all forgot. That dude call Judas sold our lord and savior 😂😅😂
Why are these people lifting ban on religious gathering when the virus is increasing on a daily basis.
Olodo and greedy government God dey ooo
These people will cause big problem because of their stupidity. We'll know in two weeks.
Follow follow governor, his masters have instructed him to lift the ban.
Zombie Governor
I hope the Governor acknowledges he bears the cardinal responsibility of keeping the citizens safe. We shift every sentiment aside if it doesn't guarantee safety.
Better for you people
Everybody want a share of the national cake. Covidiots
Bow to pressure
Dangerous!
Religion! Na wetin go kee most people for this country be this. Well Aunty Rona will exempt people who go to churches n mosques sha🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♀️
