Foreign Contractors Fund Terrorism in Nigeria

Mai Jakka and his group members with Lebanese contractor

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappTelegram the story

A Nigerian businessman, medical practitioner, and activist, has exclusively revealed one of the major sources of funding terrorism in Nigeria.

Bandit Mai Jakka and Lebanese Contractor

Shehu revealed that foreign contractors pay bandits in advance for protection and tranquility before embarking on any job.

Mahdi uploaded a video on his Twitter handle where a white Lebanese was amid bandits and kidnappers after he had paid for his protection and other members of his team who were about to embark on road construction.

Mai Jakka and some of his group members with Lebanese contrator

His piece titled, “Foreign construction firms have paid bandits in advance for protection and tranquility”, stated, “The white Lebanese in the video below is heading a road dualisation project in Zamfara State. The Bob Marley style hair armed guy is a wanted bandit called Mai Jakka, responsible for most kidnappings, abductions, raping, killings and maiming along Sokoto-.Gusau Road. Funnily, he is walking freely, prompting one to ask about the purpose of the multi-billion Naira drones. The same drones that were deployed and killed innocent souls on religious celebrations. Those who can afford to pay for personal safety and protection along high ways should contact the Lebanese Engineer and learn the art and skills of negotiating with armed non-state actors.”
