VIDEO: Primate Ayodele warns bandits may block Lagos-Ibadan expressway

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a warning regarding potential security threats on Nigeria's Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. During a Sunday service, the cleric predicted that bandits might attempt to block the busy highway in July or August.

Ayodele urged security agencies to be vigilant in light of this prediction, which was later shared via a video on his official TikTok account. The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is a vital artery, linking the commercial hub of Lagos with numerous states in the South-West and extending to the northern regions of the country.

As of the report's filing, neither the Nigeria Police Force nor the Federal Government had issued any official security alert corresponding to the primate's warning. This prediction comes at a time of heightened concerns over the spread of banditry and kidnapping in Nigeria, particularly in the South-West.

Ayodele has previously been critical of the Federal Government's handling of the nation's security situation, accusing it of failing in its constitutional duty to protect citizens. His latest warning follows recent incidents, including the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State, underscoring the ongoing security challenges in parts of the country.
