Femi Fani-Kayode who is a controversial political critic and the former Aviation Minister of Nigeria has blasted the Nigerian government for pampering some of the terrorists who have been terrorising the country rather than killing them like the Americans are doing.
Fani-Kayode had been reacting to the report of the United States’ killing of the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is an al Qaeda leader.

President Joe Biden had announced on Saturday that at his direction, the United States successfully conducted an airstrike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed the emir of al-Qa’ida: Ayman al-Zawahiri. He said the United States continued to demonstrate its resolve and capacity to defend the American people against those who sought to do them harm.
“Tonight we made clear: No matter how long it takes. No matter where you try to hide. We will find you. I made a promise to the American people that we’d continue to conduct effective counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan and beyond. We have done that,” he said.
Reacting to this development, Fani-Kayode said the Americans killed Osama Bin Ladin, AbuBakr Al Baghdadi and now Ayman Al Zawahiri, while giving the US kudos for a job well done.
He lamented that in Nigeria, terrorists were not killed, but that they were being begged, paid, appeased and rewarded with chieftaincy titles.
He tweeted: “The Americans killed Osama Bin Ladin, AbuBakr Al Baghdadi & now Ayman Al Zawahiri. Kudos!
“In Nigeria we do not kill terrorists: we beg them, pay them, appease them, reward them, bow before them, give them chieftaincy titles & let them break into prison to free their brothers.”
