In a deeply emotional video that has sparked widespread reactions across social media, a former member of the House of Assembly has opened up about how terrorism in Nigeria is allegedly being deliberately sustained by some top political actors for personal and political gain.
The former lawmaker, whose identity is yet to be officially confirmed in the circulating footage, shared disturbing insights into what he described as a “well-oiled conspiracy” by certain elites to keep the nation in a state of fear and instability.
According to him, terrorism has become a thriving industry for these individuals, who benefit from security votes, international aid, and defense contracts while innocent citizens continue to suffer devastating losses daily. He lamented the countless lives lost, communities displaced, and the psychological trauma inflicted on generations, all allegedly to satisfy the selfish ambitions of a few.
With visible emotion in his voice, he said, “This is not just negligence. This is orchestrated evil. Some of the people who should be protecting us are the very ones fueling the chaos. They sit in high places and profit while our children are being kidnapped, our women raped, our men slaughtered.”
The former legislator called on Nigerians to rise in unity, demand transparency in the handling of national security, and hold their leaders accountable regardless of political or ethnic affiliations.
His revelations have sparked outrage, with many Nigerians calling for a full investigation into his claims and greater scrutiny of how the country’s security architecture is managed.
The video continues to trend across major platforms, with citizens and civil society groups demanding answers.
