The sponsors of malicious allegations and attacks on Dr. Muhammed Bello Matawalle, DG DSS, Nuhu Ribadu, Inspector General of Police, and other top government officials are on it again.
They are circulating spurious write-ups through an unknown and faceless group to attack top government functionaries.
This is orchestrated by the arrest of one Bashir Hadeija who they collaborate with and also use to propagate false and nefarious information. This Bashir Hadeija uses all sorts of deceitful ways including name-dropping to manipulate the public.
Since the arrest of Bashir Hadeija and the revelations he is making, certain individuals are jittery because the investigation is closing in on them. Zamfara State Governor, former NSA, Defence Minister, and others who are sponsoring Bashir Hadeija have embarked on a campaign of calumny against Dr. Matawalle, IGP, NSA, DG DSS, and other credible top government officials.
Dr. Matawalle does not need to smear the image of anyone as he is busy with efforts to enhance national security.
Bashir Hadeija and his cohorts have been found with Gold with the inscription of a former late Libyan leader whose street value is unimaginable. Bashir Hadeija is an international crook who has been caught up by the wrath of the law and is capable of subversive activities.
The arrest of Bashir Hadeija has triggered more reactions and thank God that Bashir Hadeija mentioned the names of Zamfara Governor, Ali Gusau, Badaru and as a result of this, they have started attacks on Matawalle, Nuhu Ribadu, DG DSS, and IGP but this should not deter them in ensuring that justice is done.
The anticipated attacks from the named accomplices of Bashir Hadeija against high-profile Nigerians should be ignored. A person who stole Gold from Libya can say anything to anybody. The public should ignore them.
