The Idiroko Unit Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised Nigerians to celebrate Easter on a low-key to prevent further spread of Coronavirus pandemic in the country.
The FRSC Unit Commander, Mr Akinwunmi Olaluwoye, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota, Ogun, on Thursday.
NAN reports that Federal Government has declared Friday. April 10 and Monday, April 13 as public holidays as Christian faithful, the world over, prepare to observe Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
