Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has urged President Bola Tinubu to stop showing sympathy to terrorists and granting them pardons.
He made this call after the United States launched a military attack on terrorist groups in Northern Nigeria on Christmas Day.
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.
Writing on 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 organizing events to forgive them. He said the country needs to take strong action now.
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.
