The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) says its churches in Lagos and Ogun states will remain closed in spite of the federal and state governments giving the nod for worship centres to reopen.
The church stated this in a release on Friday by the chairman, MFM Media Committee Pastor Oladele Bank-Olemoh.
The statement said the church is looking to reopen in the two states on September 13.
“The leadership of this ministry is aware that the governments of Lagos and Ogun states had announced that churches could resume worship in their physical church buildings as from August 9 and 16, 2020, respectively,” the statement read.
“However, the leadership of MFM hereby states as follows: MFM will not reopen all her regions, zones, branches and facilities in Lagos and Ogun states for now. This period would be utilised to put in place all the necessary COVID-19 preventive and safety protocols as stipulated by the Federal Government, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and state governments.”
MFM is a pentecostal denomination founded in Yaba, Lagos in July 1989 by Daniel Olukoya, now with churches in several countries.
