It is not exactly known when the video was shot, but it shows respected Kano-based Islamic cleric, Dr Usman Abdullah Gadon Kaya, making claims similar to those by former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Obadiah Mailafia, that top politicians, army chiefs, and government officials are neck deep in the menace of terrorism, kidnapping, and banditry ravaging the north of the country.
It is also not clear, if like Dr. Malafia, the cleric has been invited to explain the allegations he claims were given to him by top government informants.
He claims without substatiating that the battle for the soul of the north is all about mineral resources.
Everyday.ng got the video post, but has been unable to put a name to the cleric, who spoke in Hausa. A rough translation was done by someone who watched the video.
One commentator sought to know if he had been interrogated by security agents. “(Has he been) arrested or called for questioning ?” he asked in apparent reference to Obadiah’s travail.
