Senator Shehu Buba Demands Probe into Terrorism Allegations

Shehu Buba, the senator representing Bauchi South and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) governorship candidate for the 2027 election, has called for investigations into allegations linking him to banditry, terrorism financing, and kidnapping. At a press conference in Bauchi on Monday, he announced that his legal team, led by former Nigerian Bar Association President Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, had contacted the State Security Service (SSS), Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), and Nigeria Police Force to request investigations.

Buba stated he voluntarily submitted to the SSS for questioning, asserting he has nothing to hide. He denied any involvement in criminal activities and challenged anyone with evidence to present it to the authorities.

Buba's request for an investigation follows recent allegations made by Hassan Husseini, who claimed Buba harbored bandit leaders and facilitated their training. Buba rejected these claims, stating that circulated videos and photographs had been misrepresented.
