“ I urge all of you Christians to be very vigilant and security conscious where-ever you find yourselves.
“ The issue of kidnapping is rampant in the country but we can still curtail the menace if we are vigilant.’’
“ If we fail to live together as brothers in prayers, we shall perish as fools, so we should endeavour to be our brothers’ keepers,” he said.
NCPC boss,John-Kennedy Opara, assured that he would always give a sense of direction, hope to ensure that God’s plans for the commission were achieved. (NAN)
