An Army General, Brig.-Gen. Abimbola Yussuph, has solicited for prayers for fighting-soldiers, adding that Nigerian Army need spiritual components to help them keep fighting.
Yussuph said this in Abuja on Sunday, June 13, during the third anniversary of Temple of Mercy.
While speaking to newsmen, the General said the war against insurgency had gotten to a stage where some level of spirituality should be involved.
“Even at war, we still have some level of spiritual component because the man fighting this war has a belief and whatever he believes, you need to encourage him so that he can continue to fight.
“So, I’ll say we need that spiritual component to keep fighting and I know, by God’s mercy, we’ll see an end to this war because for every war, there must be a time people will come to the round table” he said.
