Rattled by the weighty allegation leveled against the country by the US Congressman, Scott Perry alleging that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded terrorism in different nations, including Nigeria, the Senate has invited the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu to appear before it.
Others to appear before it, are the heads of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
They are to appear before the house to explain what they know about the picture painted by the US Congressman.
The call for the motion raised by Senator Ali Ndume.
Ndume stressed on the need for an investigation into the matter and during plenary, lawmakers expressed concerns over a viral video of a US Congressman, Scott Perry alleging that USAID funded terrorism in different nations, including Nigeria.
According to him, Perry’s claim was made following the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa’s statement about terrorist groups receiving sponsorship and training from international organisations.
The invitation of the NSA and the heads of the NIA and DIA comes after US President Donald Trump suspended all foreign aid via USAID.
Recall that the US government announced its intention to investigate funds sent to Nigeria.
