Adamu Garba Says USAID Is Funding Boko Haram Weapons in Nigeria
Adamu Garba, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress and former presidential aspirant, has backed claims that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is funding terrorist groups, including Boko Haram and ISWAP.
Garba, in a video shared on his X page, questioned the $824 million USAID reportedly spent in Nigeria last year, alleging that the funds were used to supply weapons to Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other terrorist organizations.
The accusations match those made by US Congressman Scott Perry, who had earlier claimed that $697 million in USAID aid was being channeled to groups like Boko Haram, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda. Perry also alleged that $136 million earmarked for building schools in Pakistan had no records of expenditure.
Garba responded to these, stating that, “The weapons terrorists use are funded by foreign operators. This expose confirms that USAID is helping to arm Boko Haram and other groups.”
He also expressed concerns over the lack of accountability, pointing out that the $824 million could have provided significant funding for Nigeria’s education and healthcare, yet it didn’t seem to benefit the people.
He concluded by stating that USAID’s role in funding terrorism was part of a larger global corruption scandal that, according to him, would soon be fully exposed.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
