Tinubu aide slams critics of ex-minister’s family rescue, calls them terrorists

A special assistant to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, Dada Olusegun, has strongly criticized individuals who have questioned the recent rescue of a former minister's family. Olusegun labeled these critics as having a "terrorist-aligned mindset" for raising concerns about the operation. He defended the swift action taken to secure the family's release, implying that any opposition to such measures is misguided.

The aide's remarks come amid public discourse surrounding the circumstances and speed of the rescue operation. Olusegun's comments aim to shut down further scrutiny by framing dissent as sympathetic to criminal elements.

This situation highlights the tension between security operations and public accountability, as well as the strong rhetoric employed by government officials in defending state actions.
