Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju Adeyanju has praised U.S President Donald Trump’s action in launching military attacks on terrorists in Nigeria’s North West and warned President Bola Tinubu against shielding the insurgents or organising events to forgive them. Adeyanju insisted that what the country needed now is to take strong action.
The activist was reacting to the Christmas day missiles launch against the ISIS terrorist group in the north.
Trump, who approved the action, said it was a powerful operation against ISIS members active in Nigeria.
He 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.
Posting on X in response to the development, Adeyanju wrote that it was time for Nigeria’s leaders to stop treating terrorists softly and to end forgiveness programs for them.
Adeyanju wrote: “All hail President Donald Trump. Dear Nigerian government & @officialABAT the time to stop pampering terrorists and organizing forgiveness ceremonies for them is now.”
