He also praised Pastor Alade and CAC Mountain of Mercy, Ojoo, for organising the Appreciation Walk.

The General Superintendent CAC, Pastor Gabriel Dada, urged the federal government to strengthen security measures, praying for divine intervention in Nigeria’s security challenges.

The Convener, Pastor Alade, noted that the church had engaged in intense prayers for the worshipers’ freedom.

Clergy and worshipers also offered prayers for the nation, President Tinubu, the Governor of Kwara State, the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and church leaders across denominations.
