“Top personalities will be kidnapped. I foresee a new syndicate of bandits, terrorists and kidnappers coming up”– Primate Ayodele

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a caution to President Bola Tinubu on Saturday, urging him to address the issue of insecurity seriously.

Ayodele foresees the emergence of a new alliance of terrorists, kidnappers, and bandits in Nigeria, warning that prominent figures would be at risk of kidnapping unless the president takes prompt action to tackle insecurity.

The clergyman, through his spokesman Oluwatosin Osho, emphasized that the threat would escalate nationwide, adding further strain to the current administration.

According to Ayodele: ‘’The president needs to take insecurity and economic hardship very seriously. Top personalities will still be kidnapped and I foresee a new syndicate of bandits, terrorists and kidnappers coming up.’’

’Insecurity will cause tension in the country. Tinubu should do the needful because those causing it are his enemies. It will go to the extent of attacking top officials; it can worsen this government if care isn’t taken. He needs to go to the root of it and checkmate every aspect of it

‘’It will extend to everywhere; it is not the issue of the service chiefs but addressing the causes of insecurity. Restructuring is part of it, hardship is part of it, poverty is part of it, he should settle all of these before it causes tension,’’ he added.
