Senator Buba Faces Fresh Banditry Allegations | Nigeria News

Senator Shehu Buba is once again under fire for alleged ties to banditry, with fresh accusations surfacing from a local resident via social media—claiming he aided and trained associates of a notorious kingpin. Denying the claims as politically motivated smears, Buba says he’s filed a police petition and had four suspects arrested, though authorities haven’t confirmed their actions—and the accuser reportedly fled to Niger Republic. This isn’t his first brush with such allegations; in 2024, his aide was linked to funding a suspected bandit for Hajj, leading to detention after DSS investigation. The DSS promises to release findings when appropriate, while a former minister calls for an independent probe and National Assembly oversight, stressing no one is above accountability. Buba’s allies stand by him, citing his security record and demanding a full, transparent investigation—with consequences if guilt is proven.
