Adeboye had led his congregation on prayers for the peace and security of the country, saying, “Lord, have mercy on Nigeria. Let there be peace and security in Nigeria. God sees all things and knows where the terrorists are hiding, we pray that God send His light to Nigeria and expose the evildoers in the country.”
He added: “After the service, we are all going for a prayer walk. We’ll march according to age. There are some who would march round the church because of their age and there are some who would march with me to Atan cemetery and back.”
