You Are Already A Terrorist – Tinubu’s Aide Blasts Critics Of Adelabu Family Rescue

Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has slammed those questioning the rapid rescue of the family of former Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu.

Naija News reports that Adelabu’s sister, Olaide Adegoke and her twin sons were kidnapped on June 3 in Ibadan, Oyo State, and freed on June 6.

However, some netizens questioned the swift rescue while the Oyo schoolchildren and their teachers remained in captivity.

Reacting in a series of posts on 𝕏 on Sunday, Olusegun defended the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force.

He argued that those unhappy with the development are no better than the terrorists.

According to him, “If you find yourself unhappy about the rescue of a woman and her children and jump on every conspiracy to try and downplay the efforts of law enforcement, just know you’re already a terrorist.

“You may not be carrying weapons yet, but your mindset and theirs are essentially the same.”

He further targeted individuals he accused of politicising the incident, describing them as “soulless” and alleging that they were using the kidnapping for political gain.

“Like I said, these soulless individuals do not care about the kidnapped kids in Ogbomoso, and this particular cretin couldn’t contain his joy over Adelabu’s sister and kids being kidnapped.

“For them, this is political cannon fodder that they can use to bulldoze their perpetual loser of a candidate into office,” he wrote while quoting another user.

In a follow-up response, Olusegun pushed back against claims that the current administration also criticised insecurity and undermined rescue efforts during its time in opposition.

“Never in our time in opposition did we celebrate gleefully and shamelessly the misfortunes of those who don’t agree with us.

You lots are soulless, and your justification today for losing your humanity is that ‘some people may have done it 12 years ago’,” he said.
