Police commissioner Augustina Ogbodo has urged the Muslim faithful to use the Eid-el-Maulud celebration to pray for sustainable peace and security in the nation.
Ms Ogbodo, in a statement on Tuesday in Abakaliki, said sustaining peace in the country was necessary to advance the nation’s socio-economic development efforts.
The police chief said the command had put in place necessary security measures to monitor the celebration across Ebonyi.
