Allegations of Foreign Mercenaries Collaboration Shake Nigerian Politics

A recent petition has accused former Attorney General of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, of collaborating with foreign mercenaries to destabilize Kebbi State. The petition alleges that powerful agents within the ruling APC party are working with the Lakurawa terrorist group and foreign mercenaries to sow unrest in the region.

Similar allegations of importing foreign mercenaries have surfaced since the APC came into power in 2015, with claims of bandits and new terror groups infiltrating Nigeria from neighboring countries. Despite these claims, security agencies have not conducted thorough investigations, leading to concerns about the security situation in Kebbi State and other regions facing threats from terrorist groups.
