A former Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence, Shehu Buba, is again facing allegations of supporting banditry as he struggles to clear his name.
Findings by Saturday PUNCH showed that Buba, who represents Bauchi South Senatorial District in the Senate, has since 2024 faced allegations of an alleged relationship with suspected bandits, accusations he has consistently denied.
The latest allegations came from a local resident simply known as ‘Hassan’, who accused the senator during an interview with social media influencer, ‘D English Alhaji Media’ (@DEngliishalhaji) of being one of the politicians aiding bandits in the area.
Hassan also alleged that individuals linked to notorious bandit kingpin, Dogo Gide, were brought to Abuja for specialised training, which was allegedly facilitated by an aide of the senator.
But Buba, in an interview published by Albarka Radio in Bauchi on Thursday, accused Hassan of being sponsored by some politicians to tarnish his reputation.
