Tinubu Calls for Treating Kidnappers as Terrorists

President Bola Tinubu criticized the widespread kidnapping in the country, advocating for treating perpetrators as terrorists. He made this assertion during a Ramadan dinner with members of the Federal judiciary, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola. Tinubu emphasized, "We must categorize kidnappers as terrorists. Their actions are cowardly."

"They have been degraded. They target vulnerable individuals, such as schoolchildren, causing widespread fear and discord," Tinubu stated. "We must treat them on par with terrorists to eradicate their menace, and I assure you, we will eliminate them."

The dinner saw the presence of current and former judicial officers, among whom were former CJNs, Justice Mahmud Mohammed and Justice Walter Onnoghen.
