Following the coup that toppled President Mohammed Bazoum, Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has advised US President Joe Biden against invading the Niger Republic.
Ayodele said that occupying the Niger Republic would be like battling God and may trigger a third global war.
The threat came as US acting Deputy Secretary Victoria Nuland urged the military coup to restore Bazoum to office in a statement.
But Ayodele cautioned that the US invasion of the Niger Republic is demonic and a terrorist action that will infuriate God.
Primate Ayodele cautioned Biden to refrain from imposing the return of democracy on the people of the Niger Republic in a statement sent through his media assistant Oluwatosin Osho.
Invading the Niger Republic, according to Ayodele, will worsen problems with global peace.
He said: ‘’If the US invades Niger Republic, it will be a satanic and terrorist move. It means Joe Biden is looking for God’s anger.
“It is a means to start a third world war which God is against.
‘’Leave Niger to decide their future, this is the message of the Lord to the US. Going to fight in Niger is like fighting God, the US will pay heavily for it if the invasion happens. This will also discredit and disqualify Joe Biden’s government. His second-term ambition is still shaking, an attempt to invade Niger Republic will destroy his government.
‘’Don’t invade Niger, invasion of the country will cause more trouble to the peace of the world, it won’t be an easy thing. It’s too early to fight in Niger, don’t start a third world war.’’
