It was learnt that the Leaders in the South East geopolitical zone have demanded the unconditional release of the leader of IPOB (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) by the Federal Government.
They argued that it would douse the current tension across the Southeast and create an atmosphere for collaboration towards a constructive resolution of the issues.
In a statement issued in Awka, they also implored the people of Anambra State and all religious congregations to join in the prayers, which would take place within the premises of all Cathedrals, Churches and prayer houses across Igbo land by 11:00am.
The leaders declared Monday (April 4, 2022) as a day of prayer for peace in Igbo land and called on the faithful wherever they reside across Nigeria, or abroad to pause and join in fellowship, adding that the prayers were meant to seek the face of God in the zone.
