Timi Frank Urges Trump to Suspend US–Nigeria Security Cooperation Over Surge in Banditry
Comrade Timi Frank, former APC Deputy Publicity Secretary, has called on President Donald Trump to halt intelligence sharing and security cooperation with Nigeria. He points to Sheikh Ahmad Gumi’s claim that authorities know bandit identities and locations but have failed to act. Frank says the rise in kidnappings and killings suggests some officials benefit from ongoing insecurity. He warns that violence could be used to rig the 2027 elections and alleges that the current administration treats terrorists as allies. He urges the US to be cautious in dealings with President Tinubu’s government and to consider independent action against terror networks. He also appeals to Congress to back credible democratic processes and stronger international engagement to restore stability in Nigeria.
