After 75 days, Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, today June 9 lifted the lockdown in the state, giving churches and mosques the opportunity to congregate once again for prayers.

In a statewide broadcast today June 9, Governor El Rufai applauded residents of the state for their immense sacrifices in the last two-and-half months that the state had been on lockdown as containment measures against the spread of Coronavirus in the state.

The governor announced that businesses and places of worship can now reopen under strict guidelines while schools and markets are to remain closed.

“Businesses can reopen, subject to the provision of thermometers for temperature checks, sanitizers or hand washing equipment and physical distancing measures within all facilities. Working hours will be 9am to 3pm daily”.
He said that Church services are allowed only on Sundays and Mosques are allowed to conduct only Friday Jumat services, for the time being, subject to compliance with the safety stipulations to the guidelines.

“Supermarkets and providers of personal services such as hair dressing and barbing salons can reopen,” he said

The governor said the ban on intra-state travel has been lifted but government officials will continue to control state boundaries to reduce unauthorized interstate travel.
“Within the state, security checkpoints will be allowed only to enforce compliance with the night-time curfew. During the day, any violations of the adjusted quarantine order like failure to wear facemasks, etc., will be enforced by operation Yaki, KASTLEA, the vigilance service and our mobile courts,” he said.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
