U.S. forces on 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 U.S. 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 commended the U.S. forces for the rescue operation and also lashed out at the Nigerian Army and President Buhari.
His tweet reads: “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 it’s own citizens & the Nig. President is only good at ordering them to do so. Shame on you!”
