SAN urges FG to settle Nnamdi Kanu, other agitators’ matters through arbitration
By Ebuka Obidinma
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria Mohammed Ndarani has urged the Federal Government to settle Nnamdi Kanu and other agitators’ matters out of court through a formidable national committee of Arbitration.
Ndarani who is the Grand Patron of One Nation for Asiwaju Support Group made the call at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, and said the move will lead to peace, and unity in diversity.
“In my opinion, court may not be the solution to the above matter, if peace must reign in the nation.
“President Bola Tinubu should consider Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms like arbitration, conciliation and mediation in some of these cases concerning these agitators”.
ADR refers to any method of conflict resolution that takes place outside of the courtroom.
It involves processes and techniques of conflict resolution without litigation, and empowers parties to work together using a framework to amicably settle complex issues.
“The political atmosphere in Nigeria is tense, with tribal and religious issues being championed everyday by some people and segments who feel marginalized and aggrieved.
“In present times, early resolution of a dispute not only saves valuable time and money for the parties to the dispute, but also promotes peace and unity.
“Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act and section 174 of the 1999 constitution (as ammended), provide that parties can explore alternative options for both civil and criminal matters.
“The treason matter involving Omoyele Sowore, leader of Revolution Now Movement and a presidential candidate for the 2023 election, and also the terrorism case against Bello Badejo, leader of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, both of which cases were withdrawn by the Nigerian government, is commendable.
“There is therefore, the need to seek further peace and unity of the nation.
“High profile cases like Kanu’s are best resolved as quickly as possible because they evoke a lot of sentiments.
“Another reason why an expeditious resolution of the matter must be sought is because it would begin to heal festering wounds which we can certainly do without at this stage of our nationhood”, he said.
The senior lawyer reminded that justice delayed is invariably justice denied.
“Talking about litigation generally in our courts, it is clear that some matters drag on interminably, and this has a knock-on effect on the willingness of our people to seek justice in our law courts.”
Ndarani said that arbitration could equally help in decongesting our courts which are currently bogged down by a lot more matters than they can expeditiously dispose of.
“Indispensable as the role of courts is in the society, the process is usually long drawn out and hence, the need to explore more frequently the option of alternative dispute resolution.
“The sooner we find alternative means of quickly disposing of these worrisome matters the better for the promotion of peace and harmony in our country.
“I will advise the president to look inwards to see how to settle most of these pockets of agitations that have given rise to loss of lives and property.
“Arbitration can bring rest to the east, peace and rest to the wanton killings in the middle belt, as well as other parts of the country”, he said.
Ndarani advised that Nigerians should be patient with Tinubu, saying that he met an unjust society, and that it is not easy to re-arrange a system that had already collapsed before the advent of his administration.
“Nigeria’s problem is the few elites who put their interest on the first.
“I advise the president to avoid them and explore all mechanisms to promote peace in Nigeria rather than seek prosecution.
“If Nigeria is peaceful, Tinubu will do well for the nation”, he said.
He urged president Tinubu to watch out for little foxes that spoil the vine, while he is trying to hold Nigeria together as one indivisible nation.

How Primate Ayodele Warned Against Fire Incident At MMIA In 2026 Prophecies
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Monday said that it recorded a fire outbreak at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
FAAN stated that, though no fatality has been recorded, its team of firefighters was on the ground to contain the fire.
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) wishes to inform the public of a fire outbreak at Terminal 1 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
“Our firefighting team is currently responding and working to contain the situation. No loss of life has been recorded.
This unfortunate incident is coming two months after Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, warned Nigerian airports to be careful of fire incidents. He made the warning in his prophecies for 2026, which were released on December 20, 2025.
This can be found on Page 30 of the prophecy book, where the renowned prophet was talking about the aviation sector.
These were his words:
“AIRPORTS IN THE WORLD: I foresee some Airports will be shut down because of power and internet service failures. Let us pray fervently so that no Airport will be attacked. Let us rebuke fire outbreaks, bombing and emergency llandingsof aircraft in our Airports. I foresee a plane crash in the world. Fire will force some aeroplanes to be grounded.”
Since the beginning of the year, several prophecies of Primate Ayodele, which he shared about the new year, have come to pass. Even in the aviation sector, there was a near-crash experience that happened with Arik Air just a few weeks ago.
The aircraft was seen with a blown engine while making an emergency landing in Benin. There was a video evidence of the Nigerian prophet, Primate Ayodele, warning Nigerian airlines to pray against such a serious occurrence.

How Primate Ayodele Warned Channels TV To Pray Against Accident Of Crew Members In 2026 Prophecies
A cameraman with Channels Television, Kani Ben, has died from spinal cord injuries he sustained in a ghastly road accident in Bauchi State.
Ben passed away at about 4:00 a.m. on Sunday at Modular Theatre Complex of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBU-TH), Bauchi, where he had been receiving treatment.
He was among 13 journalists from various media organisations involved in the crash while covering the commissioning of projects by the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in the state.
During the presentation of his 2026 prophecies in December 2025, Primate Ayodele had warned some media organizations against death of their staff members. He specially spoke about Channels TV and asked the media organization to pray against anyone among their crew getting involved in any form of accident.
These were his words
“CHANNELS TV: The spirit of God says the ChannelsTV should be watchful so that none of their crew will be attacked or be involved in an accident or shall be charged to court.” (PG 126).
Likewise, in an earlier prophecy in July, Primate Ayodele asked some television stations to pray for their reporters and cameraman regarding protection.
“AIT, Channels and Arise TV should be prayerful for protection for their staffs especially the reporters and cameramen.”
These two prophecies have been fulfilled with the unfortunate incident that involved the Channels TV Cameraman.
This isn’t to celebrate the death of the promising young man but to call on relevant authorities to always listen to divine instructions and warnings. There are a lot of things that can be avoided if people listen, but sadly, many of these things happen despite warning against them ahead of time, all because people choose to ignore the words of a prophet.
Primate Ayodele himself has said that he doesn’t feel good when his prophecies come to pass; rather, his saddest days are when his prophetic warnings get fulfilled, and this is why he doesn’t celebratethe fulfilment of prophecies. Many of these can be avoided; all people need to do is listen.

Primate Ayodele Commissions Mosque, Names It After Tinubu’s Mother
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has commissioned a mosque he built and named it after the mother of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mrs. Abibatu Mogaji.
The commissioning took place during his annual thanksgiving ceremony on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at Oke-Afa, Lagos State.
The event was attended by several dignitaries from the religious, traditional, political, and entertainment sectors, among others.
Among the dignitaries were the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Mrs. Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the first daughter of President Tinubu, who sent several delegates due to her unavoidable absence; the Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Agbu Kefas, represented by his Special Adviser on Islamic Matters; delegates of the Etsu Nupe, HRH Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar; the House of Representatives member representing Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency II, Hon. Joe Oke; the Chief Imam of Ikorodu Division, Sheikh Seifudeen Ademoritan Ayinla; the Osolo of Isolo, Oba Isa Abiodun Olakunle; the Chairman of Egbe/Idimu LCDA, Hon. Idris Balogun; the Chairman of Isolo LCDA, Hon. Adebayo Olasoju; and the Eze Ndigbo of Ejigbo, among others.
Speaking on the mosque commissioning, Primate Ayodele explained that it is simply a house of worship for God and that it was a divine instruction given to him, which he would not dare to go against. The prophet stated that the mosque would be handed over to a Muslim cleric, whom he presented to the audience during the event, making it clear that he has no interest in the operations of the mosque.
“Building this mosque isn’t because I want attention or anything from anyone; it was a divine instruction that I cannot ignore. It’s a place of worship just as we have churches, and I am not afraid of what anyone might say about this. I am only answerable to God, so whatever anyone says doesn’t matter to me as long as God is pleased with me.”
When asked about the reason for naming the mosque after Tinubu’s mother, Primate Ayodele revealed that it was God who gave him that direction and that he had initially wanted to name it after someone else, but God instructed him to change it.
“People see me as someone who hates Tinubu or as an APC critic, and I think that’s why Governor Sanwo-Olu doesn’t respond to our letter of invitation, but it doesn’t matter. I named it not because I want Tinubu to give me an appointment or anything at all. I initially wanted to name it Folawuyo Mosque, but God said no. God chose the name. If anyone likes, they can condemn me; I don’t care. We have done it already.”
While speaking on the mosque building, one of the invited Muslim clerics, who began his speech by singing Christian hymns, appreciated Primate Ayodele for promoting unity through the prayer house he built for Muslims. He quoted Proverbs 3:3 while commending the prophet for his decision.
“This is a sign that we are one, and we will always reciprocate. Our father loves Primate so much, and we thank God for what he has done. There is a difference between religion and character. With this act, Primate Ayodele has shown that we are one, as stated in Proverbs 3:3.”
Likewise, the Chief Imam of Ikorodu Division, through his representative, preached on the need to fear God. He affirmed that God has indeed sent Primate Ayodele as a true prophet, comparing him to Prophet Elias in the Holy Quran.
“There is no one who does not know God, and that is why we should all fear Him. Primate Ayodele Elijah has been sent by God, and that is why he is able to do this. His name, Elijah, has significance in the Holy Quran, and everything he is doing aligns with the character in the Quran. We also want to urge everyone not to fight because of religion; we need unity across the board.”
Continuing, the Etsu Nupe prayed for Primate Ayodele and called on other clerics to emulate the good works the prophet is doing.
“I thank God for our prophet. God will always see you through. We see the good things you do, and God will always be with you. If we have more people like you in the country, we will be much more united.”
Apart from the mosque donation, Primate Ayodele engaged in extensive empowerment programmes, including the donation of about five vehicles, multiple tricycles and minibuses, free WAEC forms, accommodation payments, sewing machines to tailors’ associations, and home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines, among others.
While speaking, the Osolo of Isolo Kingdom applauded Primate Ayodele for his philanthropic works and his decision to sacrifice personal comfort for the sake of humanity. He noted that the prophet is supporting the government by assisting the people.
“I appreciate you for all you have been doing. If we have more pastors like this, the world would be a better place, but most of them just want to buy private jets. I am happy that what you desire is not a private jet. What you have done is more than that. There are many churches in Nigeria, but I have never seen anyone do something like this—selling items at subsidised prices and giving to the people. Unity is very important for our nation, and you have brought everyone together with your own resources. I am so happy to witness this today.”
Furthermore, the Eze Ndigbo praised the man of God for his wisdom and declared that the Igbo community will always support him. He also promised to assist an ailing man, Emmanuel Udoh, who is battling kidney disease and is due for a transplant.
“Thank you, my good daddy, Primate Ayodele. The Lord who gave you this knowledge will take you higher, and I wish you many more years. I have known you for so long, and I declare that every support you need from the Igbo community will be granted.”
