The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Friday warned the newly-appointed Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Olufemi Oluyede, about an impending attack by terrorists in five Nigerian states.

Primate Ayodele warned the new COAS that the Nigerian Army must be careful from December to February because terrorists are planning to strike within the time frame.

In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele made it known that states that would be attacked include Abuja, Imo, Plateau, Niger, Katsina, Borno, and Benue states.

He said: “From December to February, there will be more insecurity casualties, and I don’t want people to start killing our soldiers; they don’t deserve to die, let them take caution before this time.”

“Let them do a cleanup and follow these terrorists back to back because they are planning attacks in five states, including Abuja, Niger, Plateau, Katsina, Maiduguri, Benue, and Imo. The military must stand firm and protect all military formations.”

“Another terrorist group is coming; this one is small, and our security operatives can get rid of them if they are ready. Terrorism will cause serious crises in 2025 if we don’t do the needful.”

The prophet also narrated how he warned the Nigerian Army under the administration of the former COAS about a new terrorist group coming up.

The prophet made it known that insecurity is a spiritual affair and it should be fought spiritually too, aside from the use of guns and weapons.

Primate Ayodele said there will be another bigger terrorist group aside from the newly discovered one, which will be a coalition of different terrorist groups.

He added: “I warned the Nigerian Army to build three towers for God to fight insecurity because it is a spiritual affair. I also warned them that a new terrorist group is coming, and that has come to pass.

“A new terrorist group more powerful than this is still coming, it will be a combination of Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, and Hezbollah. They must get prepared; the new COAS should listen to the word of God and listen to fools and knowledgeable ones too.”
