Terrorists targeting prominent Nigerians, end insecurity before April – Primate Ayodele to Tinubu

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday warned President Bola Tinubu to end insecurity in the country before April 2026.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said that terrorists are already planning to attack prominent personalities across the country, and he revealed that elections may not hold on the proposed date if insecurity isn’t addressed.

He noted that if the government continues to negotiate with terrorists, they will continue to multiply, which could allow them to take over election campaigns and electoral processes if care isn’t taken.

“If care isn’t taken, the election may not hold as planned because of insecurity. If they continue with negotiations, we are still playing with fire.

“The government must end insecurity before the election; if not, they will take over the election. They are ready to attack politicians during the campaign if action isn’t taken by April.”

The prophet mentioned some states that the president should focus on and revealed another plan for deadly attacks in December.

“Kogi, Nasarawa, Adamawa, Yobe, Enugu, Edo, Ogun, Ondo, Abuja, Kebbi, and Jigawa are places the government should look into. As a matter of fact, they are planning something bad in the country in December/January.”

Furthermore, the prophet stated that the withdrawal of police escorts from VIPs isn’t the solution, as it will only create more avenues for terrorism and expose prominent personalities to attacks.

“There are prominent names that should be considered in this context of terrorism. The withdrawal of police from VIPs isn’t the answer. They will soon start kidnapping prominent personalities.”
