By Akinwale Kasali

The continued detention of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has been criticized by the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele.

Ayodele said the Nation’s fledgling democracy is under threat following the continued trial and detention of Kanu, and that there is no hope for Nigeria’s democracy and judicial system because both systems have become irredeemably corrupt.

Primate Ayodele In a Statement signed by his aide, Oluwatosin Osho, said that there is nothing like democracy in Nigeria anymore, noting that “selection” is what is now obtainable.

Democracy in Nigeria,as it is presently is under threat, he said, and  has become a selection process

“The system to strengthen democracy in Nigeria is corrupt already. We are in a democracy of bondage.”

Ayodele condemned the Nigerian judicial system for not upholding the tenets and principles of the law in discharging its duties.

He said, ‘’Judges don’t also allow justice, they have forgotten that we will all be judged by God at the end. The cases surrounding this election will not come out as expected. The judiciary system is nothing to write home about.’’

He condemned the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government’s flagrant disobedience of Court judgments while referring to the IPOB leader’s case.

According to him, Kanu had done nothing to necessitate his continued detention even after the court had ordered his release.

‘’Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention all these while despite the fact that the court has approved his release. The government in charge of our democracy didn’t allow him to go. What did he do? Did he kill anyone?

“Or what exactly did he do that can’t allow the rule of law to be effective? There is no judgement in Nigeria, those at the helm of affairs will determine if a judgement will be followed or not, and that’s pointless,” he said
