In a prayer to dedicate the project, Reverend Anaba asked for God’s protection for the security personnel in the Region, saying, “We ask in the name of Jesus, that your mighty hand of protection will be upon them, your grace and favour on their lives, that you will build a wall of defense around them, show them your goodness and mercy.”
