The Catholic Laity Council of Nigeria, Owerri Province, has called for all stakeholders to declare war against insecurity in Imo State.
The council made the call during a press conference in Owerri, Monday, to announce its forthcoming Catholic Social Forum to be held in the four dioceses of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province.
He noted that this year’s event with the theme, ‘Healing the Land’, aimed at address pressing issues in the state will feature prayer and training sessions. “To this end, we must recognize the tragic incident that occurred on April 5, 2021, when over 2000 hardened criminals escaped from the Owerri prison. This event was a turning point in our security situation and played a major role in exacerbating the challenges we face today.
