“One of them is suspected to have supplied information to bandits leading to the death of one of our lawmakers, Muhammad Ahmad, representing Shinkafi Constituency, who was killed on his way to Kano a few months ago,” he said.
“The other was seen rejoicing after the kidnap of our Speaker’s father, who died in bandits captivity.”
Faruku Dosara, the majority leader, said the allegations must be treated seriously and called for a thorough investigation.Advertisement
