COVID-19: CAN backs Edo restrictions on unvaccinated residents
“We are counselling everyone to cooperate and save lives so that everyone in the various churches can be vaccinated.
The leadership of Edo State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Edo has backed the state government’s decision to impose restrictions on entry into banks, churches and mosques for persons without proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
This is coming barely 24 hours after governor Godwin Obaseki said residents without proof of COVID-19 vaccination would not access churches and Mosques for worship during the flagging off of second phase vaccination.

“We are counselling everyone to cooperate and save lives so that everyone in the various churches can be vaccinated.
The vaccines will not kill you, rather It will save you,” Kure said.
