The Nigerian Senate has summoned top security agencies, including the National Security Adviser (NSA), the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), to brief lawmakers on the alleged sponsorship of Boko Haram by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The summons follows an allegation made by U.S. Republican Congressman Scott Perry on February 13, 2025, claiming USAID had links to funding Boko Haram.
The Senate seeks clarification on the matter , before conducting investigation into the claims.
