Pastor Chris Okotie of the Household of God Church, Oregun, Lagos, has kicked against the use of face masks in the church by members, noting that service will not resume on Sunday, August 9, 2020.
“When a man is standing before God in church wearing a shield or mask, he is denying the finished work of the cross,” he added.
Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, last week announced that religious centres in the state can reopen for worship beginning from August 7, if they adhere strictly to the COVID-19 protocols which includes wearing of face masks during service.
