Ayodele on the Israel-Iran war

His statement, which was made in Yoruba, reads:

"What has never happened to them is happening. They have taken them so easily. The powerful one has become weak. They made them tremble. I asked them this morning, Is Israel a Christian country? Is it a country of good people? Is it a holy place?

"It is not a holy place; it is a place of the devil. Israel, when you were killing little children, you blocked pregnant women from getting food, and you have killed a lot of people. I will tell you the truth, Israel is a devil's country. We are the fools who go to the Jerusalem country."
