Peace advocates train children on crime detection
International Association of World Peace Advocates, yesterday
commenced training for children on crime detection and prevention.
The World Peace Advocates maintained that crime had refused to ameliorate because it had not been given the desired approach.
Anambra State Co-ordinator, Mr Henry Ebuluofor while speaking with
newsmen at the training said: “the antidote for world peace is a
conscious acknowledgement that violence is evil.”
He said for society to curb crime young people should lead the drive.
Ebuluofor further said that what was needed to subdue crime was “to
form consciences and educate the young generation to goodness by
holding the integral and fraternal humanism.”
He commended the church for continuing to proclaim and promote universal morality.
The International Peace Advocates listed evils in modern society to
include, anarchy and conflicts, injustice, violence and killings, as
well as dispossession and destitution.
The group added that “government and citizens of Nigeria should have
the mindset that fosters peace, love and harmony, and be proactive to
contribute to the resolution of conflicts and common challenges in a
just and peaceful manner.
“This is achievable only by resolving to put peace first and by
promoting platforms for dialogues and community values amongst the
children”.
The traditional ruler of Nanka in Orumba North Local Government Area of
the state, Igwe Godwin Ezeilo, called on the Nigerian elite to be more
proactive and committed to building lives and developing humanity.
