Oyeyemi stated that the plans for people to converge is a total disobedience to both the state and federal government directives to fight the covid-19 pandemic to standstill.
Oyeyemi said, ”It has come to the notice of Ogun State Police Command that some religious leaders in the state are preparing to open their various religious centers for people to converge in total disobedience to both the state and federal government directives.”
“The command hereby appeal to such religious leaders in both Islamic and Christian faith who may be having such intention to have a change of mind because the security agencies in the state will view such with all seriousness.”
“The command will not tolerate any act capable of undermining the determination of the state and federal government to fight the coronavirus pandemic to standstill.”
