The government of the State of Osun has announced new guidelines for cross over religious gatherings across the state

Recall that the state government had earlier directed that there should be no countdown to new year ceremonies or cross over services under any guise published by VAM News, as part of its measures at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

But in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, the state government said its sensitivity to the mood of the season has necessitated a review of its earlier position.

It therefore announced fresh guidelines for the conduct of cross over services, adding that security operatives have been directed to strictly enforce the guidelines.

The statement read in part: “The government of the State of Osun has decided to allow cross over religious gatherings, being sensitive to the mood of the season.

“But any organisation holding cross over service must note that they are expected to close the service early and everyone must be off the streets by 1:00am.

“Security operatives have been given the directive to enforce this guideline. Religious bodies and citizens are therefore advised to comply because we do not want anyone to spend the first day of the year in police custody.

“Also, the leadership of religious bodies must ensure strict adherence to safety protocols, which include accommodating only 50 percent capacity of their normal attendance, ensuring social distancing, use of nose mask or face fields by participants, avoidance of sharing materials and instruments and avoidance of any other action that can help the virus to spread.

“The government wishes everyone a prosperous year ahead, but wants all of us to do what is right to keep the peace, safety and health of the State and its citizens.

“Let us be our brothers’ keeper and avoid actions that may put the safety of others in jeopardy. Obedience is better than sacrifice”, the statement read.

Mumu government. Where una sense go before?

In my opinion, the decision doesn't make the guy or his people a mumu government, it's quite glaring that most people don't care about covid anymore , so it was a preemptive decision


However the mumurity in this decision is giving security operatives the contract to enforce the law

They will abuse it , they will misuse it and in an already tensed enviroment like Osun , I pray it doesn't get out of hand, the people have tasted the inferiority of police force in Nigeria (Not Osun alone) all they need is one major fk from Police and everything will literally go to hell

Since you want people to do cross over , biko leave them , btw most people are already back home before 1AM cross over service ends 12 AM so
what's the issue here ?
