Former Kogi West Senator, Smart Adeyemi, has said that terrorists attacking Nigeria have both local and foreign support.
Senator Adeyemi made this known on Tuesday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
According to him, the terrorists have in-house agents.
“They made sure they were already formidable enough, and don’t forget this terrorist, no doubt have people who are backing them in and outside the country.
“They were waiting to see the focus of the Asiwaju government that took some highly courageous decisions that were aimed at emancipating Nigeria to another level,” he said.
He said while campaigns were ongoing, killings went down because the terrorists were moving in thousands to the country’s forests.
He also pointed out that there are insiders who are acting as agents for the terrorists.
He said when the service chiefs were being changed they were very much aware that the terrorists were building, becoming more formidable.
According to the former lawmaker and chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), insecurity in Nigeria has been going on for 20 years.
