With House of Reps’ Ahmed Maje’s revelations on how politicians are behind Plateau killings, Presidency has a lead – Nigerians

*As Reps member makes unputdownable revelations

“I want to tell this House and Nigerians that about 300 people were trained in Israel, it’s there in our report, we gave it to the government to work on and find out those sponsoring them… A company in Plateau State did importation and about four containers were missing and when we traced as a committee what was in those containers, we were told that the containers were taken to the house of a politician. When we traced the name of the company it was a security company in Israel. They bought arms… We do not want to say the truth and this will continue to hunt and bedevil us. The truth of the matter is that there are some politicians behind this killings. I’m from Plateau State and I’m saying those behind this are politicians and I know I’m putting my life on the line by saying this, but I prefer to die and save others. I’m willing to surrender some of these documents.”

The DEFENDER’s opinion sampling at the weekend has revealed that with the recent revelations by Hon. Ahmed Maje of Nigeria’s House of Representatives at a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, the Federal Government now has a good lead to use in unraveling the “mystery” behind the killings.

Hon. Ahmed Maje from Plateau State had three days ago insisted that politicians were behind the killings in Plateau State.

Speaking during a plenary, Maje claimed he had evidence to prove that politicians were behind the many killings in the state.

The lawmaker, who represents Wase constituency in Plateau state, noted that he was aware that he was putting his life in danger by making the disclosure.

According to Maje, “I want to say this that the security men are not doing their work, they are the remote causes of this matter, whether we like it or not. I want to tell this House and Nigerians that about 300 people were trained in Israel, it’s there in our report, we gave it to the government to work on and find out those sponsoring them.

“Till today, nobody has been traced and these people are the ones who go about killing people. I’m giving you this and I’m willing to surrender this documents.

“A company in Plateau State did importation and about four containers were missing and when we traced as a committee what was in those containers, we were told that the containers were taken to the house of a politician. When we traced the name of the company it was a security company in Israel. They bought arms.

“We do not want to say the truth and this will continue to hunt and bedevil us. The truth of the matter is that there are some politicians behind this killings. I’m from Plateau State and I’m saying those behind this are politicians and I know I’m putting my life on the line by saying this, but I prefer to die and save others. I’m willing to surrender some of these documents.”

Last week, some concerned members of Plateau State community protested in Abuja accusing a former governor of the state of knowing about the killings.

One of the respondents who spoke on the Maje’s revelation, Adebayo Bankola Akintunde, who spoke through his twitter handle, expressed the view that President Muhammadu Buhari now a clue as to what to do over the killings that he must go after everyone involved.

“Adebayo Bankole Akintunde‏ @AdeBanqie I am of the view that @MBuhari must go after everyone involved in the Jos killings either politically motivated or not. However the confession by this Plateau State Rep member is worth considering. Please watch.”
