This is contained in a statement signed by Rev.Fr Abraham Nwali, Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ebonyi chapter, urging worshippers to comply with the directive.
Nwali, who is also the Governor’s Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Religion and Welfare Matters in the statement, urged worshippers to comply with the policy on social distancing.
“They must observe sanitary laws which include usage of sanitisers and hand-washing.
“Every church must conclude activities on or before 12 p.m and worshippers should return to their various homes immediately,” the statement read.
He urged worshipers not to stay beyond the stipulated time in their churches as defaulters would be made to face the wrath of the law.
