The fear of Boko Haram is the beginning of wisdom, so Governor Fashola seem to be saying.
Fashola through an executive order issued to all ministries, departments and agencies of the state government on Monday suspended all religious activities at the Alausa state secretariat.
The executive order with reference number E0/BRF/003 read thus:
“I have observed with grave concern the lack of adequate security measures in place to check movement into and out of the secretariat, resulting in a high human and vehicular traffic in the secretariat.
“This situation is worrisome in the light of prevailing security challenges and the spate of bomb attacks in some parts of the country.
“In order to ensure the protection of lives and property within and around the secretariat, all religious activities within the secretariat are hereby prohibited.
“All devotees are now to use the Central Mosque and the Chapel of Christ the Light respectively which have been provided for that purpose,” the governor said in the executive order.
