Falana: US Used Drones and “Sleep Chemical” to Rescue Kidnapped American in Sokoto Forest

Senior Advocate Femi Falana explained how US forces freed American Philip Walton from kidnappers in Sokoto forest in October 2020. He said Walton was seized in Niger Republic, moved across the border and hidden in Sokoto. US surveillance drones pinpointed the captors’ hideout. Falana described how American troops deployed a sedative spray that knocked both kidnappers and the captive unconscious. The forces then rescued Walton and neutralized the terrorists. My take: Nigeria should explore similar chemical tactics to fight banditry. (Source: TVC)
