  • Akpabio also commended President Bola Tinubu for tackling the situation to the extent that no territory in the country is currently hoisting the flag of Boko Haram.

The senate has requested the presence of top security officials before the upper legislative chamber regarding allegations that USAID supported Boko Haram.

This decision was made on Wednesday following a motion presented by Abdul Ningi, senator representing Bauchi central.

Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south, supported the motion, urging the senate to examine the claims due to Boko Haram’s devastating impact.

Ndume emphasized that the investigation would clarify speculation surrounding the group’s survival.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio advised discreet handling of security matters, suggesting intelligence chiefs provide insight in a closed-door meeting.

The invited officials include Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser; Adeola Ajayi, DG of DSS; Mohammed Mohammed, DG of NIA; and the DG of Directorate of Intelligence Agency.

Scott Perry, a Republican congressman, alleged last week that USAID used taxpayer funds to support terrorist groups, including Boko Haram.

Perry’s statement supported President Donald Trump’s decision to close the agency.

Boko Haram has been active in Nigeria since 2009, causing thousands of deaths and displacing millions, particularly in the north-east.

USAID has provided humanitarian aid, stabilization programs, and support for displaced persons through various projects.

The congressman’s claims sparked heated social media debates, with Nigerians divided between dismissing them as conspiracy theories and criticizing US involvement.

On Monday, the US assured that systems are in place to verify aid reaches intended recipients amid allegations of funding terrorists in Nigeria.

The US embassy condemned Boko Haram’s violence, emphasizing continued cooperation with Nigeria to counter-terrorism.
