The Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC), Orji Uzor Kalu (APC, Abia North), has alleged that bandits operating in the country are mercenaries brought in by politicians.
Kalu made the claim during an appearance on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television.
His statement comes amid the renewed wave of insecurity affecting several parts of the nation.
In his words, “People are being killed in Nigeria and you see people talk about the forthcoming 2027 elections, this and that. You can see that all is about politics.
“These people (bandits) are partially mercenaries brought by politicians. These people are people brought by individuals. They are centred to destabilise the president who is ready to revamp our economy.”
When asked whether President Bola Tinubu was aware of the details he shared, the former Abia State governor responded, “Tinubu is the president of Nigeria. He has a lot of information around him.
“As a citizen of this country I’m aware that people are sponsoring these bandits to destabilise Nigeria, but we are equal to the task. The Federal Government will challenge them.”
