He alleged that not a single member of the notorious terrorist sect, Boko Haram, is currently on trial for the terror unleashed on Nigerians but rather enjoying amnesty.
Adeyanju said the Nigerian government, through its security forces and some hired thugs, attack peaceful protesters and kill some.
He wrote, “Nigeria is the only country in the world where over 40,000 Boko Haram terrorists have been forgiven by the Govt but they pay thugs and police to attack peaceful protesters. Not one Boko Haram is on trial. They killed peaceful protesters at Lekki & continue to deny it till date.”
Terrorism has taken root in Nigeria, leading to the death of tens of thousands of people. It has also rendered millions of Nigerians homeless as there are numerous persons in the Internally Displaced Persons’ camps all over the country.
