When Nigerians started celebrating after the United States launched an attack against terrorists in Nigeria on December 25, 2025, Primate Ayodele stood out when he said the nation shouldnāt celebrate yet because there would be reprisal attacks.
Many quickly lashed out at him, calling him all sorts of names like prophet of doom, fake prophet, bet9ja prophet, to mention but a few. However, the prophet stood his ground and continued to warn President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his team that terrorists are planning to attack some Nigerian states.
His words after the US-led attack were:
āNigerians shouldnāt celebrate yet, and President Tinubu shouldnāt celebrate either, because the powerlessness of his government is getting exposed, and America can come up with anything against him. This wonāt stop kidnapping or insecurity in Nigeria.
āThe government of Nigeria must work on it because the US cannot do it without the Nigerian government.
āAnother bombing is coming up, and these bandits are ready for the consequences. They are also ready to counter-attack heavily; the government must get prepared for the outcome.ā
Many didnāt know that Primate Ayodele isnāt a prophetwhot just speaks for attention’s sake, he speaks as directed by the most high God, and thatās why he is always fearless in his approaches. Even though the presidency celebrated it, he called their attention to some plans of terrorists across the country.
Itās been barely two months after the attack by the United States, and the country is back to more folds of insecurity across the country. Bandits have launched full-fledged attacks on the nation, killing several innocent souls without being checked or arrested.
If only security operatives listened to Primate Ayodeleās warning, he vividly mentioned some of the states that bandits orterroristst would be visiting. He shared them in a public forum at least twice, including in video recordings, but we wonder what these security operatives do with sensitive messages like this.
In one of the prophetic moments, he mentioned about eight states that will be attacked by terrorists if care isnāt taken.
āThese states, Nasarawa, Abuja, Ondo, Kaduna, Sokoto, Benue, Katsina, Yobe, should be paid close attention to. They should deploy more soldiers to these states.ā
Just yesterday in Benue, inn Benue State, 17 people, including a Mobile Police officer, were killed when gunmen attacked the Abande market in Mbaikyor Ward, Turan district of Kwande Local Government Area. Gunmen opened fire on traders and residents, killing many on the spot. Police spokesperson in Benue State, Udeme Edet, confirmed the attack.
In Katsina, In Katsina State, at least 20 residents were killed when bandits stormed Doma community in Tafoki Ward, Faskari Local Government Area.
Witnesses said the attackers moved unhindered, shooting villagers and setting houses and vehicles ablaze before fleeing. Faskari Local Government Chairman Surajo Aliyu confirmed the incident, describing it as a deadly reprisal and the worst in recent months.
In Kwara, too, Primate Ayodele had said earlier before now, just after the Eruku incident, that he still sees attacks in the state.
In fulfilment of this, bandits killed at least 10 villagers in Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area. The attackers, reportedly operating from the Borgu National Park forest in neighbouring Niger State, invaded the communities around 6.00 pm, firing sporadically and setting houses ablaze.
Sincerely, all of these could have been avoided if they had listened.
