Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Citadel Global Community Church, CGCC, has stated that churches should be opened up to be used as isolation centers for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

His advice comes just days after Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Chris Oyakhilome kicked against the continued closure of churches due to coronavirus pandemic while other businesses are allowed to open.

Speaking during an online broadcast, Tunde Bakare stated that his church auditorium in Lagos has been donated to the state government. He also revealed that his private residence in Ogun State has also been donated.

"I recommend that our church halls be made available to government as Isolation centers and those of us who could afford it should be there to support the government", he said.
