The Leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has blasted the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, the Department of State Security (DSS), other service chiefs over Abuja-Kaduna Monday train attack.
Ayodele in a statement signed Friday by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, exploded, saying the security network of Nigeria is corrupt, hence, the need for the operatives to be queried over the attack as they are yet to make any arrest over 72 hours after the incident.
The Cleric challenged that the security operatives have lost grip of the country’s security, therefore, if care is not taken, 2023 will be consumed by the lingering insecurity challenge.
‘’The security situation of our country should not be allowed to get out of hand towards election because there is still danger ahead. The DSS, Army, need to be queried on the airport and train attack; something is wrong which they need to give report about. It’s more than 72 hours and no arrests have been made on it, if a prominent politician was among the victims, unnecessary arrests would have been made, there is serious corruption in our security network.’’
‘’The IGP, Service chiefs are not incharge at all, we are running an empty country, I’m speaking as the Lord directs not out of a biased mind. They don’t know what to do, they are weak and tired. This is not banditry, it’s terrorism. These things can consume 2023 if not handled with care and I foresee it extending to other parts of the country if it’s not curtailed now.’’
He revealed that there are people behind the security crisis in Nigeria but they have not been addressed, noting that the crisis will start extending to other parts of the country and when it does, Nigeria will be a total mess.
He made it known that there are some facilities on the terrorists list and even though their days are numbered, they keep on regrouping due to the incompetence of the country’s security operatives. He also said that they are planning to attack some states while blaming visa on arrival as a major means of bringing in terrorists into the country.
‘’There are people behind it that have not been addressed, they will gradually extend it to the other zones in the country and if this happens, the country will be in serious mess. At the moment, major facilities are on the list of these terrorists, their days are numbered but they keep regrouping. Our immigration network should stop giving visa on arrival, it’s one of the ways these terrorists come into the country. They are planning to attack Abuja, Katsina, Zamfara, Plateau, Benue, Imo, and Anambra states. I see suicide bombers on rampage again.’’
Primate Ayodele also warned that the security in shopping malls, international airports should be fortified as he foresees possible explosions.
‘’Let the security operatives fortify security in our shopping malls, international airports because of unexpected explosions. Security agencies need God’s intervention and they must work with God’s warnings through his prophets. I repeat that the spiritual intelligence department is needed to overcome these crises, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.’’
