Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has urged President Bola Tinubu to stop showing leniency to terrorists, citing the recent US military strike on ISIS militants in northwest Nigeria. Adeyanju believes it's time for Nigeria's leaders to take a tougher stance against terrorism, rather than offering forgiveness or pardons.

The US strike, approved by President Donald Trump, targeted ISIS camps in Sokoto state, killing multiple militants. The Nigerian government confirmed the operation, stating it was part of ongoing security cooperation with the US ¹ ² ³.

Adeyanju's call comes amid rising concerns over insecurity in Nigeria, with attacks on churches and mosques, and kidnappings. He previously urged Tinubu to tackle insecurity decisively or resign, emphasizing the need for strong action against terrorists and their sponsors ⁴ ⁵.
