A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, on Friday said the Boko Haram terrorist group “is a colonial asset”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the former presidential aspirant said the terrorists are in Africa “to steal and plunder our resources”.
Garba was reacting to a video posted on Thursday by a Twitter user who claimed that a French and Canadian were among the Boko Haram fighters killed by Nigerien forces.
This newspaper cannot immediately verify when the video was first taken.
French, Canadian Citizens identified as part of Boko Haram fighters. They are here to steal & plunder our resources yet you call them Islamic. Boko Haram is a colonial asset.
There can be no better time than now to recharge & resuscitate Lake Chad. That’s why we need Bola Tinubu https://t.co/EsXVupgjIE
