According to him, the church must pray for the siege over Nigeria to be over and not carry placards.
The 79-year-old in a sermon titled, ‘The Siege Is Over’, also sent a strong message to West Africa, saying though they might not have the technology and health infrastructure like developed nations, the continent, however, has God.
Speaking amid the outbreak of the new COVID-19 variant, Adeboye said the highly developed nations have forgotten God.
Omicron cases in Nigeria
In another report by Premium Times, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) recorded three additional cases of the omicron variant on Tuesday, December 7.
This brings the total number of confirmed cases to six. The NCDC DG, Ifedayo Adetifa, noted that the new cases were detected in persons with recent travel history to South Africa.
According to him, Nigeria currently doesn't have any evidence of community transmission of the omicron variant.
Omicron: Canada rejects COVID test results from 10 African nations
In a previous report by Legit.ng, nationals from 10 African countries, including Nigeria, will henceforth go through some hurdles and a series of tests in order to be permitted entry into Canada due to the spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant which some have associated with the continent.
The European nation, however, stated in its recent travel advisory that its citizens, permanent residents, and people with status under the Indian Act who have been in the affected countries are allowed entry into Canada.
The Canadian government made it clear that such persons would be required to obtain proof of a valid negative COVID test from a third country, meaning they must present proof of in-transit PCR test results for entry into Canada.
