The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has revealed that there are five powerful people behind terrorism in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that if those five people are not taken out of the way, the nation will continue to be at the mercy of terrorists.

He stated that the government needs to work effectively to end insecurity in the nation because those behind it are not slowing down.

“Five people are involved in this kidnapping matter that the government must try to identify and take out of the way; otherwise, the nation will continue to be at the mercy of terrorism. If the government isn’t proactive enough, it will continue to hit the nation badly because they are not slowing down.”

The cleric also urged the president not to encourage negotiation with terrorists, no matter the situation. He called on Tinubu to call Gumi and others clamouring for negotiation to order because they are encouraging insecurity.

“Tinubu needs to call people who encourage negotiation to order. People like Gumi shouldn’t be allowed to represent the government for any reason.

“The more we negotiate, the more terrorism increases, and Tinubu is the one who has everything to lose in this matter. If he isn’t careful, they will continue to use insecurity against him.”

He further explained that negotiation has turned terrorism into a big business in the country, revealing that there is international influence in it, and except the president works really hard, he will not be able to end it.

“Negotiation has turned terrorism into a big business centre and despite all, there are international bodies influencing terrorism in Nigeria. If you don’t do what is needful, terrorism will fight your government; it’s not going to affect poor people alone, the rich will also cry,” he added. (Nigerian Tribune)
