VIDEO: Primate Ayodele urges FG to release Nnamdi Kanu

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, Nnamdi Kanu.

Ayodele made the call while addressing members of his congregation in a video that surfaced online on Saturday.

The cleric argued that if the government chooses to continue detaining Kanu, it should also take similar action against Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.

“Try and release Nnamdi Kanu ” he said.

Ayodele maintained that treating the two figures differently could raise questions about the government’s sincerity.

The cleric also warned that public protests could intensify if the government failed to address growing concerns among citizens.

“Protest will seize this Tinubu government,” he added.
