The event, which attracted unprecedented mammoth crowd was organized by the Deeper Christian Life Ministry in collaboration with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Lagos chapter.
According to him, "The fight against corruption is legitimate and right but we should do it without witch-hunting or oppressing anybody."
