POWA, according to a statement on Friday, held a two-day prayer and fasting session over the rampaging terrorists’ attacks.
The Police Officers Wives Association (POWA) in Kaduna State has fasted and prayed to God to end the insecurity in the country and to disallow the bandits and terrorists from killing their husbands.
POWA, according to a statement on Friday, held a two-day prayer and fasting session over the rampaging terrorists’ attacks.
The police spokesman, Mohammed Jalige, released the statement, adding that the prayer and fasting session was led by the POWA chairwoman and wife of the police commissioner, Salimat Ayoku.
“The prayers and fasting sessions were devoted to peace in Nigeria due to the recent unmitigated security challenges,” said the statement.
According to the police statement, because Nigeria’s worsening insecurity is taking its toll on police officers, the cops’ wives decided to hold the prayer sessions.
“The president of POWA, the wife of the Inspector-General of Police, Hajara Usman, had to instruct POWA members to embark on a two-day fasting and prayers to seek divine intervention,” added the police.
The policemen’s wives prayed for an end to insecurity in Kaduna and Nigeria.
“They also beseeched God almighty to keep protecting their spouses and give them victory over the enemies of Nigeria in whatever guise in the course of their duties,” the police statement said.
It disclosed that POWA secretary, Grace Onoja, represented Ayoku.
She advised police officers’ wives to always be prayerful, noting that “the fervent prayers of the righteous never go in vain as the Almighty Creator is merciful and hearkens to their cries.”
The two-day event began on Wednesday and ended on Thursday.
