Nigerian retired On Air Personality and religious critic, Ifedayo Olarinde popularly known as Daddy Freeze has advised that after Covid-19 lockdown, people shouldn’t go back to church building.
His reason being that church building is just a building. He continued that people can stay anywhere in or off church building and still serve God in spirit and truth.
