The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday called on President Bola Tinubu to arrest politicians who finance terrorism, warning that insecurity will not end in the country otherwise.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said that all efforts to curb insecurity will be wasted if financiers are not identified and dealt with.
He explained that even if America intervenes to assist Nigeria, the financiers remain the major cause of insecurity, and until they are held accountable, little progress will be made.
“If the government doesn’t arrest those financing terrorism, we are not yet serious; it will not end. There are governors, top senators, and former governors in this category, and they should be arrested.
If we don’t do it, it means we are not willing to make it end. Even with America’s support, if we don’t identify these people and arrest them, it will be a wasted effort.”
The prophet also advised the president to approve the creation of state, federal, and regional police.
He further suggested clearing bushes across the nation, as they provide shelter for terrorists.
“President Tinubu should approve the creation of state police, federal police, and regional police; it will help to cushion the effect of insecurity in the country.
Security agencies should rise up and focus more on security and the economy now. They need to take efforts to bring down bushes across Nigeria because that’s where they are hiding,” he added
