The Operation Disarm World Evangelical (Interdenominational) fellowship has organized a three-day prayer and fasting session to intercede for the unconditional release of the Chibok school girls as well as for peace to reign in Nigeria.
The session held in Benin City and with the theme: “Let the Righteous rule the land” climaxed with a rally in some major streets in Benin City.
At the rally, the co-ordinatorof the fellowship, Evangelist Helen Ugochukwu, appealed for enthronement of righteousness in Nigeria for peace to reign so that peace and development can begin to manifest.
According to her, development and progress are derivatives of peace in Nigeria.
She enjoined those in leadership to be God-fearing and imbibe the culture of discipline, without which all efforts geared at peace building would be to no avail.
Admonishing youths on the need to be focused to be adequately prepared for the leadership roles that the future holds for them, Ugochukwu also advised them to shun crime and criminality including armed robbery, kidnapping, assassination, while fleeing from social vices.
