Worshippers trooped out on Sunday as churches in the federal capital territory (FCT) re-opened after a two-month break caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The federal government had banned religious gatherings to check the spread of the virus.

But last week, the ban was lifted, with a warning on religious centres to comply with the safety protocols of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

Below are pictures of some churches which reopened on Sunday:
