As a permanent solution to end insecurity in Nigeria, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday said by arresting those financing terrorism will be the surest way to have a peaceful country.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele called on President Bola Tinubu to identified them and dealt with them, otherwise all efforts to curb insecurity will be futile.
“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,” he said.
Primate Ayodele 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.
He advised the president to approve the creation of state, federal, and regional police and clear 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.
