The St Theresa’s Catholic Cathedral Church, Nsukka, Enugu State, has barred women from wearing big headgears and carrying hand bags to Sunday service.
And the ban takes effect from September 9th, 2012 as announced by Rev. Fr. Uche Obodoechina, the Cathedral Administrator.
Obodoechina said the measure was being introduced to ensure the security of worshippers.
According to him, the big headgears, in most cases, made the identification of persons during Sunday service difficult.
He said the headgears (popularly called canopy) turn to a ‘barricade’ when many women putting on big head gears stay on a row during service.

“Please, in view of the present security challenges, the church has urged women to stop coming to Sunday service with big headgears and bags to enable security men know when bomb will be smuggled into the church. The church has directed security men at the church gate to seize big head ears and bags from Sept. 9. This measure is aimed towards enhancing the security of the faithful during Sunday mass.”
Furthermore, the clergyman announced that cars would henceforth be parked at the St Theresa’s College field.According to him, only motorcycles will be allowed to park at the designated places within the church premises.
