An unnamed Northern Senator has been fingered for allegedly spearheading terrorism, banditry and Kidnapping.
The lawmaker who is being watched by security agencies in the country, is said to be heading a sensitive committee in the Senate.
According to sources who spoke to news medium, Vanguard, he has been identified as one of the sponsors and financiers of banditry and other terror-related activities in the North.
The sources said actions of the senator is already known to relevant government agencies and would soon be made to account for his alleged heinous deeds.
“We are aware of the Senator’s unholy relationship with the enemies of state, including the number of times he had held nocturnal meetings with kidnappers, bandits and terrorists in Abuja, the seat of power”, one of the sources said
The lawmaker who is said to be linked to an outspoken Islamic scholar, is said to be aware of those behind the kidnap of some female students of the Federal University, Gusau, Zamfara State and the corps members from Akwa Ibom State who were seized on their way to Sokoto and have since been kept away by their abductors.
“Relevant security agencies have since unravelled the identity of a Senator from the North, who is the chief sponsor and financier of banditry and other terror-related activities in parts of the North”, one of the Vanguard sources said.
Continuing, he said:
“As a matter of fact, he is in marriage with the bandits, who have been terrorising the North Central and the North West areas.
“His tendencies are so disruptive and over-arching that he interferes with the investigative activities of security and other law enforcement agencies, who have continued to make inroads into terrorism, sponsorship and financing.
“Let me shock you: investigations have so far revealed that the lawmaker knows where kidnapped Zamfara female varsity students, and members of the National Youth Service Corps are being held”.
Another source said: “Security agencies are aware of the Senator’s disruptive activities and have placed him under surveillance, being a person of interest.
“While an influential Islamic scholar can be said to be in bed with suspected terrorists, this high-profile Nigerian is in marriage with the bandits, and you know what that mean.
“We are wondering why he was given such a sensitive chairmanship position to occupy, considering his antecedents, which were appropriately communicated to the highest authorities.
“The truth of the matter is that security agencies are doing their best in terms of intelligence, investigations and operations, but what they need to identify, isolate and bring terrorists and their sponsors/financiers to deserved justice, is the political will on the part of government”.
