Make Sure Reno Omokri Has Bulletproof Cars In Mexico – Farotimi Tells Nigerian Govt Following Ambassadorial Posting

Lawyer and public commentator Dele Farotimi has stated that President Bola Tinubu appointed former presidential aide Reno Omokri as Nigeria’s ambassador to Mexico following his comments on drug cartels.

Speaking in an interview with The Citizenship Project, Farotimi spoke about Omokri’s new diplomatic role and the possible risks attached to the posting.

According to him, the federal government should take steps to ensure that Omokri is well protected while carrying out his duties in Mexico.

The human rights activist said Omokri had previously made several remarks about drug cartels, and this could place him in a sensitive position now that he has been sent to serve in Mexico.

He added that the government must put strong security measures in place for the new ambassador.

Farotimi pointed out that the authorities should provide Omokri with high-level protection, including the use of bulletproof vehicles and protective vests.

He stated that such safety measures would be necessary to guard against any danger that could arise during his diplomatic service in the country.

“You sent Omokri to Mexico after he had been busy running his mouth about drug cartels. Oh well, he had better make sure that he has a lot of bulletproof cars and vests in that place that he has gone to.

“But whenever I speak on these things, let us understand clearly that I speak so you will understand that a window has been opened into how Nigeria operates.”

President Bola Tinubu recently appointed Reno Omokri to represent Nigeria in Mexico as part of new diplomatic postings announced by the federal government.
