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.
Speaking to his congregation in a video shared online, Ayodele argued that if the government insists on keeping Kanu behind bars, then Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi should also face arrest.
“The Nigerian government should release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Since you keep Kanu in prison, why can’t you keep Sheikh Gumi in prison too? You keep Nnamdi Kanu but Gumi is free. Then, how do you want to now manage the government?” Ayodele said.
He warned that continued detention of Kanu while Gumi remains free could fuel unrest. “If Nnamdi Kanu is there, then go and take Gumi. Then Nigerians will believe that the government is serious.
Protest will seize this Tinubu government,” he added.Ayodele’s remarks come amid ongoing debates about the government’s handling of separatist leaders and religious figures, with critics questioning consistency in its approach to justice and national security.
