The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has called on the Federal Government to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
In a video currently circulating on social media, the popular cleric urged the government to free Kanu, arguing that fairness and justice should guide its actions.
According to Ayodele, if the Federal Government insists on keeping Kanu in detention, then the same measure should be applied to Islamic cleric, Sheikh
Ahmad Gumi.“Try and release Nnamdi Kanu,” Ayodele said in the video.
The cleric maintained that treating the two figures differently could raise concerns about the government’s sincerity and commitment to justice.
He further warned that growing public dissatisfaction could trigger widespread protests across the country if the government fails to address pressing concerns of citizens.
“Protest will seize this Tinubu government,” he added.
The remarks have continued to generate reactions online as Nigerians debate the cleric’s position on Kanu’s detention and the broader issues of security, justice, and national unity.
