Nigerian Government Criticized Over Claims of Direct Contact with Kidnappers in Kwara State
The Nigerian government's claim of making direct contact with kidnappers of 38 worshippers in Kwara State has been met with skepticism and criticism. Special Adviser to the President, Bola Tinubu, and strategist Bayo Onanuga's assertion that security agencies were in real-time contact with the criminals has been widely questioned.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar described the claim as a shameful attempt to cover up the nation's tragedy. The government's handling of the situation has raised concerns about security agency effectiveness and the ongoing security challenges in Nigeria.
