A Nigerian senator has publicly confirmed allegations that some members of the Nigerian military, along with certain political leaders, are collaborating with the terrorist group Boko Haram.
This revelation was shared in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user @chude__.
In the video, the senator discussed recent findings suggesting that elements within the military and leadership circles are working with Boko Haram to undermine national security.
The senator called for a thorough investigation to uncover the reasons behind these collaborations and to hold those responsible accountable.
He stated: “The recent resurgence of Boko Haram has been investigated, revealing that certain interests, including some military personnel, are collaborating with these terrorists. The governor of Borno state made a statement—we need to find out the rationale behind it.”
Following the post, many concerned individuals flooded the comment section to express their reactions and share their views.
