Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has praised the assassination of Osama bin Laden’s successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Al-Zawahiri was killed by US forces in an airstrike in Afghanistan on Monday, dealing a long-awaited blow to the terrorist network.
President Biden directed an airstrike in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed al-Zawahiri.
Al-Zawahiri was an early mentor to former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was killed by US forces while hiding in Pakistan in 2011.
In response, Fani-Kayode questioned the Nigerian government for rewarding terrorists instead of killing them.
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 prisons to free their brothers.”
