According to reports, Members of the Presidential Guard have detained the President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum.
With this ugly, development, it’s advisable that African leaders should take into cognizance the postulations of Buratai which he delivered on Tuesday, July 18th, 2023 in Abuja.
Here is the report:
Buratai Reveals Why He Agrees With President Tinubu To Classify Coup D’etat As Organised Crime
The former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General TY Buratai Rtd has corroborated the stance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the need for African governments to classify military coup d’etat in Africa as organised crime.
The former COAS , during his remarks at a conference organised by the Tukur Buratai Centre for Contemporary Security Affairs of the Igbinedion University, Okada, themed, “Organized Crime Network as Emergent Threats to National Security,”, stated that it is high time Nigeria and African leaders tagged coup as organised crime.
Buratai’s call was in support of the call made by President Bola Tinubu, on Saturday, calling on African leaders to respect democracy, rule of law, and ensure political stability. The President who spoke in Nairobi, Kenya at a high-level event organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on the margins of Fifth Mid-Year African Union (AU) Coordination Meeting called on the United Nations to take firm stance against military coups.
“As you might be well aware, the theme of this conference is International Conference on Organized Crimes as Emergent Threats to National Security. The Conference is poised to be a crucial platform for addressing the grave challenges facing Nigeria and the countries in the Sahel. By focusing on the pressing issue of organized crime and its implications for national security, this conference aims to shed light on potential strategies and collaborative efforts that can be undertaken to tackle this growing menace,” said General Buratai in his remarks.
He added that, “The gathering of experts, law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and scholars from around the globe will provide invaluable insights and knowledge exchange, ultimately equipping governments with the necessary tools to combat organized crime effectively. With Nigeria currently grappling with these emerging threats, the conference holds particular significance for the Bola Tinubu government, providing an opportunity to examine successful initiatives implemented elsewhere and adapt them to the local context. By fostering international cooperation and promoting information sharing, this conference can undoubtedly assist the Bola Tinubu administration in formulating robust policies that safeguard national security and ensure the well-being of its citizens…It is high time we also classify military coup d’etat in Africa as organised crime. ”
Furthermore, Buratai revealed that the causes of organized crime in Nigeria, are undoubtedly multifaceted. One of the primary contributing factors is the existence of porous borders, which allows for the easy movement of criminals and illegal goods across national boundaries. Also, prolonged conflicts in countries like Somalia, DR Congo, Libya, Mali, Burkina Faso, and now Sudan have a direct impact on the rise of organized crimes. Additionally, the prevalence of poverty and unemployment within the region creates a desperate environment that can push individuals towards criminal activities as a means of survival. The influence of jihadist groups in the Sahel, who exploit vulnerable populations and use violence to achieve their agendas, also plays a significant role in fueling organized crime. Furthermore, greed and the pursuit of personal gain contribute to the proliferation of criminal networks, as individuals are enticed by the potential financial rewards. Lastly, the absence of effective law enforcement (police), weak deterrence mechanisms and weak governance structures further enable criminal organizations to operate with impunity.
Continuing, Buratai affirmed that, “the alarming reality of ongoing criminal activities, ranging from the illicit theft of about 500 barrels of crude oil on a daily basis to the calculated displacement of communities for the purpose of mining minerals cannot be ignored. These multifaceted crimes not only undermine the stability and well-being of affected regions but also perpetuate a cycle of violence and exploitation. These criminal enterprises not only rob our economy of legitimate growth and development but also inflict immeasurable harm on individuals and communities”
Therefore, he believed that the ongoing battle against organized crime requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach from law enforcement agencies, government entities, and the general public to protect the well-being and future of our beloved country.
The conference which was chaired by Lt. General AB Danbazau Rtd, former COAS. Other distinguished guests at the event include Mallam Nuhu Robadu, the National Security Adviser, Retired IGP Solomon Arase, representatives of the Chief of Defence Staff and the three services as well as heads of Immigration, Customs, NSCDC, the academia and the media.

The Consequences Of Disregarding The Prophecies Of Primate Elijah Ayodele
Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual church is a prophet on his own different league; no competition, no rivals and even though we have several prophets operating in the same ministry, Primate Ayodele has maintained his uniqueness beyond reasonable doubts, hereby standing him out among others.
It’s not for pride or class but there is absolutely no one that has the unction, prowess, clarity, and words that Primate Ayodele possesses. His ministry is beyond the everyday prophecy, made huge, unattainable records and still smashed them with more manifestations of his unique prophetic ministry.
For any nation, having a proven man of God like Primate Ayodele is a huge blessing because if the people and government honour, listen and follow prophets like him, no country in the world should be able to compete with them and the reason is this prophet warns nations of danger ahead of time, proffer solutions to problems, tell them what to do to become prosperous and several other mysterious things. It would indeed be a huge blessing for any nation to have Primate Ayodele in their midst.
However, Primate Ayodele is a typical reflection of Jesus’s statement about a prophet not getting honoured in his home town. As blessed as Nigeria is to have Primate Ayodele, He is more respected in foreign countries than Nigeria.
While other countries yearn to listen to his prophecies and follow his divine instructions, Nigerians are always looking out for when his prophecies would fail or when he would talk against their interest so they can proudly criticize him and call him names.
Despite the fact that they don’t even see his prophecies fail, they go to the extent of twisting Primate Ayodele’s prophecies just to push an agenda, they cook up stories against him to set him up for drags but instead of the ministry of this unique prophet to go down, it keeps growing from glory to glory.
Meanwhile, just two days ago, Primate Ayodele was hosted on Liberia’s biggest radio station, King’s FM, where he was interviewed about the nation of Liberia, what they would face in the near future and the solutions to their problems. It was an intense interview that lasted close to 3 hours with more than 3,000 Liberians staying glued till the very end and when the call lines were opened, the citizens kept on calling till the host stopped the calls from coming in – it just shows how much they honour the gift of Primate Elijah Ayodele.
On the other hand, Nigerians, including the government, instead of honouring Primate Ayodele by listening and following his divine instructions are after criticizing him in the most disrespectful manner. It is for this reason that unfortunate incidents happen in the country; the government prefers to call God’s prophet names even when they are being warned against impending dangers, they miss the message and focus on tackling the messenger and this is why they fail.
As we speak, Nigerians especially Abuja residents are currently in fear of an earthquake due to incessant movements on underneath the earth that has been happening for some days now.
These tremors, which began last weekend and continued intermittently through the night, have caused unease among locals.
Earth tremors are minor shifts in the Earth’s surface, caused by the same geological forces that lead to earthquakes. While they are generally less severe than full-fledged earthquakes, their persistence can be unsettling, especially when they occur in densely populated areas.
Of course, Primate Ayodele had specifically warned the Nigerian government against climatic conditions that would result in a kind of earth shaking. This statement was released by the man of God in April 2024.
These were his words
‘’There is an impending danger that will come through climatic conditions in some Nigerian states. I see some states experiencing earth shake as a result of climatic conditions.’’
“Nigeria has been experiencing flooding but another nationwide flooding looms and it will be very serious in states including Lagos, Abuja, Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Kogi, Edo, Adamawa, and Niger.’’
I foresee ‘earth-shaking’, climatic problems in Lagos, Abuja, Oyo, others – Primate Ayodele warns
The earth tremor that has consistently happened in Abuja for days is a fulfillment of the warnings of Primate Ayodele but it could have been worked on if the government paid attention to the words of the prophet rather than the prophet himself. The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens, Primate Ayodele has assisted them by revealing what is to happen but they prefer to do everything asides following divine instructions.
It is the same way Primate Ayodele warned Borno state government of an impending flood that would make thousands of people homeless in 2023. Unfortunately, instead of taking necessary precautions to prevent such, the government ignored and today, Borno has become a major attraction because of the deadly flood that swept through every part of the state.
At this point, Primate Ayodele doesn’t have anything to prove regarding his call as a prophet anymore, he has been tested and trusted, He is credible enough and doesn’t need anyone’s validation. He will continue to release his prophecies as God directs him but when people ignore these warnings, they would definitely experience the consequences.
