Call for Investigation: Ex-Politician Urges Probe into Bandit Funding
Datti Baba-Ahmed, a former chieftain of the ruling party, called for an investigation into allegations that the Federal Government was funding bandits. He referenced a recent statement made on Channels Television's Sunday Politics, where he questioned the government's approach to dealing with insecurity.
In a subsequent interview on Channels Television's Politics Today, Baba-Ahmed criticized the former governor of Kaduna State, El-Rufai, for dismissing the claims and urged for a thorough examination of the situation. He highlighted the need for accountability and transparency in addressing security challenges, particularly concerning the alleged support for criminal elements.
The National Security Adviser's office denied the allegations, prompting further scrutiny into the matter.
