Adeyanju called on the Federal Government to adopt a firmer stance against terrorism, arguing that both terrorists and those who support them should face the death penalty instead of being granted clemency.

Deji Adeyanju, activist and lawyer, has insisted that terrorists and their sympathisers deserve death rather than forgiveness.

In a post on his X page, Adeyanju called on the Federal Government to adopt a firmer stance against terrorism, arguing that both terrorists and those who support them should face the death penalty instead of being granted clemency.

He criticised what he described as government leniency toward terrorists, warning that such an approach could undermine efforts to tackle insecurity.

Adeyanju urged the government to abandon policies that appear to pardon or reintegrate terrorists, insisting that a strict and uncompromising response is necessary to deter violent extremism and protect citizens.

“Terrorists and their sympathisers deserve death not forgiveness. The Nigerian government must stop forgiving and romancing terrorism,” he wrote.

The comments come as Minister of Defence Christopher Musa reassured Nigerians that terrorists and bandits are suffering significant losses in ongoing military operations.

Speaking after a security briefing with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Musa said the Armed Forces updated the President on the latest security situation and addressed what he described as “misleading interpretations” circulating in the media.
