The prayers would commence on April 4, 2022, and would hold in churches all around the state.
The call to prayer was given at a stakeholders’ peace meeting with security chiefs, traditional rulers, and religious leaders in the state capital of Awka.
He said “ I enjoin you to pause and join in fellowship to seek the face of God. It is expected that the conclusion of the prayer session will mark the end of the sit-at-home order in Anambra state.
