Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has tackled President Bola Tinubu over his response to insecurity in the country, especially with the death of Brigadier General, Musa Uba.
Naija News recalls that General Uba was the Commander of the 25 Task Force Brigade in Damboa, Borno State, and was widely known for leading operations from the frontline in the fight against insurgency in Nigeria’s North-East.
The senior officer was killed after his convoy was ambushed by fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) near Wajiroko in the Damboa Local Government Area while returning from a routine military operation.
While some reports suggested he was captured and later executed, the Nigerian Army honoured him for his bravery and commitment to leading troops in combat against insurgents.
However, Effiong, while comparing the United States (US) and Nigerian military response to terror attacks and insecurity, pointed out the extent to which the American government is willing to go to defend and rescue its own.
In the post shared on 𝕏, Effiong said the US government went all out to rescue an American pilot in Iran, but Tinubu and his cronies in the villa left General Uba to die after being captured by terrorists in Borno State in November 2025.
He wrote, “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.”
