The Imo State Commander, Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service, NHFSS Prince Fabian Iwuoha has felicitated with the Muslim community in the country and called on them to devote time to pray for the unity of Nigeria.
Prince Iwuoha also charged faithful to reflect deeply on the teachings of Prophet Mohammed as they concern love for one another and peaceful coexistence.
The Commander made this comment while addressing newsmen in Owerri, the capital of Imo State.
The Commander stressed that peace is paramount for global development, including Nigeria and called for unity of purpose to wade off threat of insecurity in different parts of the country .
Prince Iwuoha highlighted that the resilience, dedication, patience and self-sacrifice of Muslims as true believers in the teachings of Prophet Mohammed.
The Commander advised them to hold tenaciously to those positive attributes which their faith holds in high esteem.
He said despite all odds, God has been kind, gracious and merciful to Nigeria and Nigerians and called on all Muslim faithful (as well as their Christian counterparts) to remain steadfast in their prayer for a one peaceful, united and prosperous country.
“We do not have any other country to call our own but Nigeria. Therefore, it behoves all us, irrespective of our faith, to ensure that Nigeria is made the envy of other countries.”
He noted, however, that it has also provided an opportunity for the living to reflect deeply on the awesomeness of God Almighty in the face of challenges and appreciate Him for what He represents in our lives.
He congratulated them, and assured of the command's preparedness to protect the lives and property of all residents, in line with the constitutional oath of office taken for that purpose.

In the spirit of Eid-el-Fitr celebration, Prince Iwuoha encouraged all Muslims to spare a thought for the vulnerable, weak and needy in our midst and show them love by sharing what they have with them.
He commended the Commander General of NHFSS, Dr. Joshua Wole Osatimehin for his doggedness and fatherly disposition in the discharge of their duties.
Prince Iwuoha called on the men of Imo State command to put in their best, so as to reciprocate the gesture of the CG, Ambassador Osatimehin.
