Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Akinyemi strongly condemned the action as a violation of international law. "This is not a good way to start a new year. It isn't at all.
This is nothing but piracy, banditry, a violation of international law, a violation of the charter of the United Nations. There is no justification for it at all," he said.
He expressed concern about dangerous precedents this action sets for international relations.
"My fear is that nothing prevents now Putin from going into Ukraine to pick up the president there. Nothing prevents China from now going into Taiwan and incorporating it.
I mean, there are so many of these things that could be duplicated, and what type of world will we be in?"
While acknowledging the former Venezuelan president's poor record, the professor argued that many world leaders have questionable governance styles, yet no country has authorization to act as global police.
