Recall that Governor Abiodun had earlier fixed June 19 for the planned reopening of the worship centres in the state and had set up a tripartite committee to work out the modalities for the reopening.
The Governor said the suspension became imperative in the face of the rise in the community transmission and spread of COVID-19 in the state.
He made the declaration while briefing journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital.
On Tuesday, Lagos state, too, had suspended its plan to reopen religious centres.
Abiodun, in his Friday address, announced that the current ease of lockdown from Monday to Friday is still in force while residents are expected to stay indoors on Saturdays and Sundays.
While reading the riot act on further flaunting of the laid down directives on measures to flatten the pandemic, the governor said interstate-travel is still prohibited.
