El-Rufai Goes Aginst Federal Government - Refuses To Lift Ban On Churches, Mosques And Markets
The
governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai has refused to adhere to the
directive of the Federal Government as he refuses to lift ban on churches,
mosques and markets in Kaduna State.
In
a statement released by the state government yesterday night, the governor warns
that anybody who goes ahead to open churches, mosques or markets in the state
is going against his orders and would be persecuted for violation of the state
order.
The
statement also showed that the governor had taken it to be his decision to
decide whether or not to lift the ban on churches, mosques and markets. It reads
that the Federal Government only imposed ban on such activities in other states
and not Kaduna state.
According
to the statement, the state imposed the lock-down and would be the one to lift
the ban on public activities in the state, the statement released by the state
government last night reads,
"Until these consultations result in a formal announcement authorizing businesses, markets and places of worship to reopen, it will be a violation of subsisting Quarantine Orders to reopen any unauthorized facility, market or places of worship or to conduct congregational worship of any sort. Places of worship in Kaduna State were not closed by the Federal Government. The decision to close places of worship in Kaduna State was taken and enforced in March 2020 by the state government as part of the proclamation of the Quarantine Orders in the state".
