See what Primate Ayodele Urges Nnamdi Kanu to do with Nigerian Government for Freedom

Primate and Kanu

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has advised Nnamdi Kanu, the head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to seek clemency from the Nigerian government to secure his release from detention.

During the launch of his 30th “Warning to the Nations” event at his church in Lagos on Saturday, Ayodele cautioned that Kanu risks dying in detention if he does not appeal to the authorities for his freedom.

Kanu is currently detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) under the orders of the Nigerian government. Recently, Southeast governors and senators have decided to approach President Bola Tinubu to seek a political resolution for Kanu’s ongoing detention.

The IPOB leader has been held since June 2021, following his re-arrest in Kenya and subsequent extradition to Nigeria. Although courts have granted him bail, the Nigerian government has not complied with these orders.

Ayodele also prophesied that Nigeria would eventually break up, asserting that neither Nnamdi Kanu nor Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho would be the cause of this division.
