Kidnappers must be treated as terrorists — Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu says individuals involved in kidnapping must be treated as terrorists.
Tinubu, who condemned the “reprehensible acts” perpetrated by kidnappers across the country, spoke on Tuesday at a Ramadan dinner with members of the federal judiciary led by Olukayode Ariwoola, the chief justice of Nigeria (CJN).
In a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, Tinubu said those who resort to kidnapping children are cowards and incapable of confronting the might of the Nigerian armed forces. “We must treat kidnappers as terrorists.
They are cowardly. They have been degraded. They look for soft targets. They go to schools and kidnap children and cause disaffection. We must treat them equally as terrorists in order to get rid of them, and I promise you, we will get rid of them.”
