Ignore debates about numbers, Kaduna CAN tells Nigerians

The Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has admonished people to ignore debates about the number of persons that should be in a religious gathering and obey government’s stay-at-home order.
Its Chairman, Reverend John Hayab, who stated this in a statement issued yesterday in Kaduna, noted that the body’s attention has been drawn to unnecessary debates going-on among members of the public about the fight against COVID-19.
He noted that the confusion was about how many people should be allowed in a gathering or meet at a religious function, adding, “Consequently, we in CAN wish to appeal to everyone to ignore the debates about numbers and obey the advice to stay at home.
“CAN strongly opposes the idea of exposing our members or their loved ones to contracting the deadly virus by holding large gatherings, justifying that the gatherings have only 10, 20 or 50 persons.”
It, therefore, appealed to all who love God and worshippers in the Church, that the best way to guide against the spread of Coronavirus was to close Churches for now and suspend all gatherings until the virus was brought under control.
