Some of the worshippers stated those who came to the church without face masks were turned back while those who could afford to buy did so before they were allowed to enter the church.


The Parish Priest of St. John’s Catholic Church, Customs Maiduguri, Rev. Father Emmanule Yilar, said he noticed a decline in attendance attributing it to the current situation, which has made peoples’ faith to drop.


He also disclosed that his church council has decided to conduct children’s mass on Saturday evening to stop children from over-crowding the church.
