The United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, has dismissed allegations that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funds Boko Haram or other terrorist organisation.
Mills who met with members of the Nigeria Governors Forum in Abuja yesterday night, said there that no evidence to back up the allegation.
He stated that no country condemns Boko Haram’s violence more strongly than the United States, assuring that if any evidence is found, the US government will work with the Nigerian government to investigate it.
“There is absolutely no evidence of such diversion, and if we ever had evidence that any programme funding was being misused by Boko Haram, we would immediately investigate it with our Nigerian partners,” Mills said.
