The Chairman , Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Kano state chapter, Rev.

The state CAN chairman however, warned that anybody found flouting the order would be arrested and subsequently prosecuted. However, all Churches were under lock and key,as Christians in the ancient city, complied with the lockdown order ,as worshippers did not attend the Sunday service According to him, the lock down order impose by the state governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was necessary in a bid to stem the spread of COVID -19 in the state. His words, ” we members of state CAN, had passed the necessary circulars round to all Church leaders ,advised them on the need to tell members ,to obey the lockdown order ,hence ,any Christians caught in the process of not compiling by the order ,he/She be arrested and be prosecuted ,because he or she does not represent Christians “. Also, the spiritual head of Our Lady of Fatima Cathedral, Catholic church, Reverend Father Micheal Adegbola said over 6000 parishioners were exempted from six banal weekly mass sessions. According to him, the church was initially confronted with challenges in enforcing the lock down order, because of them didn’t believe it, but we had to educate and sentize our people to understand the dangers involved at this time, where people had to stay at home and pray. However, the the gigantic First Bapist church located on France was on Sunday placed under lock and key.
