Plot to frame me with terrorism –Kuku

Immediate past Spe­cial Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Hon. Kingsley Kuku, has raised the alarm over moves to link him with terrorism and stockpiling of arms in the country.

The former presidential aide, in a press release on Friday, said in their des­peration to hang him to the stakes, some hawks in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari are conspiring with security agencies to arrest him at the airport upon his return to Nigeria on charges bordering on terrorism.

Kuku stated that the alarm became necessary following an online media report by a spectral Kano-based group, National Se­curity Watchdog, which claimed that “there was incontrovertible evidence linking (me) to terrorist acts and illegal stockpil­ing of arms.”

The group also called on the Attorney General of the Federation to initi­ate proceedings for my extradition in order to face terrorism charges.

“The claim by this group must not be taken lightly by either the gov­ernment or well-meaning Nigerians. This is because a few months ago, I re­ceived information that a security agency was plot­ting to link me with acts of terrorism falsely.

This information with the evidence is already before a law court, but the security agency has denied it. It is therefore not a coincidence that a shadowy group in the name of National Security Watchdog was created to reinforce their claim.

“As a peace-loving Nigerian, I have worked for the peace, progress and prosperity of our dear country over the last one and a half decades. I am therefore shocked that such dastardly and crimi­nal activity could be re­ferred to me.

“Having failed to gather concrete evidence of mis­appropriation of funds against me, these per­sons are now fishing for evidence to link me with terrorism. They will defi­nitely fail again”.
