A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and former presidential aspirant of the party, Adamu Garba, has affirmed the allegations that the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, was funding Boko Haram and other terrorists organizations.

Garba said funds from USAID were used to procure weapons for Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other terrorists’ groups.

In a video he posted on his X page, Garba wondered how USAID spent $824 million last year in Nigeria.

Recall that Pennsylvanian Republican lawmaker, Scot Perry had claimed that USAID was funding terrorists organizations.

Speaking during the session tagged: “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” focused on alleged misuse of taxpayer funds, the Congress man alleged that $697 million in aid was being funnelled to Boko Haram, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda through USAID.

Perry claimed that there is no record of USAID using $136 million to build 120 schools in Pakistan

Reacting, Garba said: “I mentioned this before that Boko Haram, ISWAP, and most of these terrorists, the weapon they get is actually funded by some clandestine foreign operators, they are the ones supplying them weapons.

“The expose about the USAID has confirmed that Boko Haram and all these terrorists are getting their weapons through the funding from USAID.
