During a visit to Loveworld City, Christ Embassy in Benin City, Edo State Governor Mondai Okpebholo stated that Nigeria does not belong to criminal elements, specifically referencing kidnappers operating across the country. This declaration was made through his Chief Press Secretary, Patrick Ebojel, as part of a call for prayer against the rising issues of kidnapping and cultism in Nigeria.

He expressed confidence that through collective prayer, Nigeria would overcome its current challenges.

The event included prayers led by Pastor Mose Olayemi, who commended Governor Okpebholo for ongoing development projects in Edo State, particularly improvements in road infrastructure.
