Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has accused the federal government and President Bola Tinubu of pampering terrorists.
Adeyanju stated this while reacting to the military attack on terrorist groups in Northern Nigeria on Christmas Day.
Naijaonpoint reports that the strike was approved by former US President Donald Trump, who said it was a powerful operation against ISIS members active in Nigeria.
Trump explained that the mission was aimed at stopping the killing of Christians in Northern Nigeria and preventing what he called widespread violence against them.
Speaking via Truth Social, Trump said US forces hit ISIS camps in Northwest Nigeria and accused the group of murdering innocent people for many years.
He also said that under his leadership, the United States would not allow extremist Islamic groups to grow or succeed.
In response, Adeyanju praised Trump’s action and called on the Nigerian government and President Tinubu to stop shielding terrorists or organising events to forgive them.
Posting on 𝕏, Adeyanju wrote that it was time for Nigeria’s leaders to stop treating terrorists softly and to end forgiveness programs for them.
He wrote, “All hail President Donald Trump. Dear Nigerian government & @officialABAT the time to stop pampering terrorists and organizing forgiveness ceremonies for them is now.”
