Shehu Buba is finding it harder and harder to shake off these allegations.
Now, the wife of his Personal Assistant is publicly pleading for her husband’s release. According to her, Senator Shehu Buba called him and instructed him to go and pick up a young man, believed to be Hassan. But by the time he arrived in Damaturu, Hassan had already fled to Niger Republic 🇳🇪, and the PA reportedly followed him across the border.
Interestingly, Hassan himself had earlier claimed that the Special Assistant was arrested in Niger 🇳🇪.
THE SHEHU BUBA FILE IS GETTING DARKER
The DSS has reportedly confirmed that investigations into allegations surrounding Senator Shehu Buba are still ongoing.
Remember: Governor Bala Mohammed reportedly petitioned President Tinubu in 2024, alleging that Buba was “supporting, enabling and empowering bandits.”
Then came Abubakar Idris, a suspected bandit reportedly detained by the DSS after being registered for Hajj through a process linked to Buba’s political structure.
Another accuser, Hassan, now alleges that people connected to Dogo Gide were brought to Abuja for drone and sniper training. He possesses recordings, photos and videos.
Buba denies sponsoring banditry and says his contacts with figures including Bello Turji were connected to a non-kinetic peace initiative.
But here is my problem:
This man once chaired the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence.
If allegations this grave can follow someone occupying such a sensitive position, Nigerians deserve more than silence.
But nobody should shield Buba.
DSS, RELEASE YOUR FINDINGS.
Clear him or prosecute him.
National security cannot have sacred cows.
This Senator Shehu Buba’s alleged terrorism case has been ongoing for a long time. It is widely known across Bauchi State but our people were careless about it. Im glad it is finally making it to the media forefront and everyone is getting to see.
It’s only in Nigeria that a Senator will be accused of a crime as terrible as sponsoring terrorism and the only explanation he has is for the accuser to come back into the country and prove his ‘innocence’. Kaman yaya?! Someone that should be proving his own innocence to the relevant authorities at the moment!! Who did this to us?!
While a serving senator faces serious allegations linking him to bandits & terrorism, the hypocritical media has again redirected its focus to Malam Nasiru @elrufai who has been unjustly kept behind bars.
In a letter making rounds, it is alleged that the Gov of the state in which that senator serves has written to the President since 2024. Why was there no action taken?
