Adesina Recalls Buhari’s Stern Command to Security Chiefs

• Femi Adesina has revealed that in 2021, Buhari gave a firm directive to security chiefs to eliminate terrorists without mercy at the height of the insurgency.

Former presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has revealed that in 2021, late President Muhammadu Buhari gave a firm directive to security chiefs to eliminate terrorists without mercy at the height of the insurgency.

In a tribute, Adesina described Buhari as a patriotic leader deeply concerned about the safety of ordinary Nigerians.

“When insurgency reached its peak in 2021, and he held a meeting with security chiefs, he was virtually pleading: ‘Wipe out these people. Kill them.

“They are haters of humanity. They don’t deserve to live. Nigerians love me, they trust me, that’s why they keep voting for me. Wipe them out. Kill them.’” He stated.

At the time, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, then Chief of Army Staff, pledged swift action once new military equipment arrived.

Tragically, he died in a military plane crash just a week later, stalling the momentum of the counter-insurgency efforts.
