President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that terrorist agents could be present within the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Bwala made the comment during The Link Up Podcast, a panel discussion hosted by EchoRoom and released on Friday. He was answering a question about whether terrorists had infiltrated the military.
The presidential aide said the possibility could not be dismissed. He pointed out that some soldiers and police officers had been arrested in the past over alleged links to terrorism in Nigeria.
Bwala said, “You cannot rule out the facts that they may have one or two agents in the army, anywhere else.
“Our police have always been arrested, and soldiers arrested involved in this kind of thing.
“This will happen anywhere in the world. Snowden was a contractor to the US national security. These are elements that can happen, and why I didn’t want to talk much on that is because there are measures we’re taking and we don’t want people to know.”
