Wife of Kwara state governor, Mrs. Omolewa Ahmed, has organised a special prayer tagged, "Kwara mothers pray" for the release of the abducted Chibok school girls.

The prayer, which was held at the Government House, Ilorin, on Saturday, brought together women Islamic organisations and Christian faithful.

It also featured recitation of complete Holy Quran and verses from Holy Bible, amidst prayers to God for safe release of the abducted girls.

Speaking with journalists, Mrs. Ahmed said the prayer was to seek God's intervention on the abducted girls.

"What we are doing today in Kwara is our way of showing our concern about what is going on because it could have been anybody's daughter and we are really touched. And we believe so much in prayers in Kwara State and we know that we need God's intervention. We need God to touch the heart of the abductors so that our children would be set free.

"We are just mothers and we are fulfilling our roles, that is why we are doing it on our knees. I know that our men are doing what they should do. But as mothers, this is our case. We call on God, our creator to intervene in our matter so that we can have peace in Nigeria.

"We empathise with them (parents), we are praying for them and I believe that In Sha Allah, by the grace of Almighty God, the Lord will set free those children", she said.
