The Senate has summoned the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed, and his State Security Services, Oluwatosin Ajayi, over claims that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had funded global terror groups, including Boko Haram.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, who announced this during the plenary today, said they will appear before the lawmakers in a closed-door session to verify the allegations.
The resolution to summon the security heads followed a motion sponsored by the Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume.
The decision followed the recent claim by US Congressman Scott Perry that USAID funded terrorist organisations such as the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and their affiliates, including Boko Haram in Nigeria.
