Despite lockdown by the Federal Government due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Churches hold Sunday services, especially the celebration of Easter in Kano State.
The Palm Sunday popularly referred to as the Easter celebration of Jesus Christ after His death on the cross was held in the state capital.
However, what only manifested during the celebration was the space distance of church members within the church auditorium. It would be recalled that unlike before the emergence of COVID -19, members were used to be sitting within the church.
Meanwhile, an investigation conducted in First Baptist Church, a popular church in Kano portrayed that there were space distances during the church service, even a seat that used to occupy about eight people, was only occupied by only four members.
In their sermon to mark the Easter celebration, the leaders of the church, Deacon John Bamikefa, and Deacon Moses Elusade charged Christians not to see the Easter celebration as only merry-making alone, but to reflect on what portray to mankind.
Deacon Bamikefa then called on members to use the occasion to pray to Almighty God in this trying period of COVID-19, the entire world is going through.
