Nigeria’s Senate has summoned key security and intelligent leadership over allegations made by a United States Congressman, Scott Perry, on Boko Haram sponsorship by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Senate issued the summons at the plenary today, February 19.
Some of the top security agencies summoned by the Red Chambers include the National Security Adviser (NSA), the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
According to the Senate, the agencies’ heads are expected to brief lawmakers on the alleged sponsorship of Boko Haram by USAID through supposed humanitarian aid to Nigeria.
The Senate leadership said that it needs more clarification on the matter before conducting its independent investigations.
