US Forces, Saturday, October 31, rescued an American citizen taken hostage by armed men in Niger and held in the Northern part of Nigeria.
The mission was undertaken by elite commandos as part of a major effort to free the US citizen, Philip Walton, 27, before his abductors could get far after taking him captive in Niger on October 26.
In a tweet shared this morning, Femi Fani Kayode, the former Nigerian Minister of Aviation hailed the US forces for the rescue operation but lashed at the Nigerian Army and President Buhari for killing their citizens.
FFK’s tweets, ”U.S. forces rescued an American citizen held hostage in Nigeria yesterday. 6 captors were killed by the Americans. Congrats to Donald Trump. The Nigerian Army is only good at killing its own citizens & the Nig. President is only good at ordering them to do so. Shame on you!”
