Founder and Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Nigeria, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has alerted the Nigerian military to be on their toes in view of planned attacks on some states across the nation.
Primate Ayodele made this known in his church in Lagos on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
He named the states at the verge of attacks. They include Benue State, Bauchi, Niger, Oyo, Imo, Anambra, Akwa Ibom and a host of other states, adding that the bandits and terrorists may cause issues in those states.
He stated that the Nigerian military would get the miscreants and uproot them but later the criminal elements would like to grow again.
He therefore warned the military to be at alert against any eventuality.
He said the job would be tough but the Nigerian military would overcome.
He said, “The Nigerian military should watch the following states, because of unexpected attacks, banditry and terrorism.
“They are Benue, Bauchi, Kogi State, part of Abuja, Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Niger, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Imo State, Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo State, against violence, kidnapping.
“Bandits and terrorists may cause problems in all of these states.
“The army will get them, uproot them but yet, they will still want to grow again, so the army must not sleep, because of this evil terrorism.
“However it is going to be tough, but the Nigerian military will still overcome,” Ayodele stated.
