Bauchi State governorship candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Senator Shehu Buba, has urged security agencies to investigate allegations accusing him of involvement in banditry, terrorism financing, kidnapping and other criminal activities.
Buba said he voluntarily submitted himself to investigation to allow the Department of State Services (DSS), Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Nigeria Police Force to independently establish the truth.
The governorship aspirant disclosed this while addressing a press conference in Bauchi on Monday, September 14.
challenged anyone with evidence connecting him to banditry, terrorism, kidnapping or financing of criminal groups to submit such evidence to the appropriate authorities.
“Do not hide behind social media. Do not rely on edited videos, insinuations, propaganda or anonymous allegations,” he said.
The senator said he had previously taken legal action over what he described as false allegations against him.
He added that some individuals accused of spreading the claims were currently facing proceedings before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Shehu Buba also referred to his September 2025 petition to the Nigeria Police Force, and another petition dated September 7, 2026, in which he sought Interpol’s intervention over one of the persons his legal team believes is behind some of the allegations.
He said copies of his submissions had also been forwarded to the National Security Adviser, Chief of Defence Intelligence, Chief of Defence Staff and Minister of Defence.
The senator, who previously chaired the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence, said his past dealings with security and intelligence agencies may have been misrepresented as evidence of links to criminal elements.
He said he was ready to face prosecution if investigators established a prima facie case against him based on credible evidence.
