The Nigerian Senate has called on top intelligence and security chiefs to investigate claims made by U.S. Congressman Perry Scott, alleging that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been funding terrorist groups, including Boko Haram.
This decision came after Senator Mohammed Ndume (Borno South) raised the issue under Order 41, citing the urgent need for a thorough probe into the matter. Ndume stressed that the Senate must take the claim seriously, given the destruction caused by terrorist activities in the country.
“The revelation is concerning, and we must investigate it properly to put an end to speculation about how non-state actors have been able to operate for so long,” Ndume said.
