Lere Olayinka, aide to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for backing calls to free IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, calling him a hypocrite for not condemning Deborah Samuel’s killing in Sokoto.
Kanu, detained by the DSS since 2021 after his arrest in Kenya, still faces terrorism charges and reports declining health.

“Hypocrite @atiku did a tweet condemning Deborah’s murder but quickly deleted it.”
