Inibehe Effiong, a human rights lawyer, has tackled President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over its response to insecurity in Nigeria.

In a statement on X, Monday, Effiong compared the US and Nigerian military response to terror attacks and insecurity.

 

 

According to him, the US government went all out to rescue an American pilot in Iran, but the Nigerian government left a captured Brigadier General, Musa Uba, to die after being captured by terrorists in Borno State in November 2025.

 

“I am currently watching a press briefing by President Trump, the CIA director, and his defense secretary about the rescue of an American pilot and a weapons system officer from the ground in Iran.

 

 

“The extent that America is willing to go to defend and rescue one American is just amazing.

 

“In Nigeria, a general was captured, killed, and humiliated by terrorists, and we didn’t see any meaningful action from Tinubu and his cronies in the villa.

 

 

“Members of the Nigerian Armed Forces are being paid very ridiculous wages.

 

“Yet, politicians and their families are living in opulence,” he wrote on X.

 

Recall that Arise TV anchor Oseni Rufai recently broke down in tears after recalling how Brig. Uba was killed in Borno.

 

 

UGAMATV reports on Sunday that the US pilot shot down earlier was rescued in a military operation.
