On Easter Sunday, Rev. Valerian Okeke, the Archbishop of Onitsha, celebrated the holiday with inmates at the Onitsha Correctional Centre in Anambra State. During his homily, he emphasized the significance of faith and prayer in human life, urging inmates to express gratitude to God.
He defined faith as a response to God's revelation and encouraged the inmates to not feel isolated but to seek God's face for freedom and redemption.
