Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has commended the killing of Osama bin Laden’s successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Al-Zawahiri was killed on Monday by United States forces in a strike in Afghanistan, delivering a long-sought blow to the terrorist network.

President Biden had ordered a U.S. airstrike in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed al-Zawahiri.

Al-Zawahiri was an early mentor to former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was killed by U.S. forces while hiding in Pakistan in 2011.
