High-profile bandit kingpins have allegedly been discovered inside the residence of a Nigerian senator, according to a video circulating online.
The video, shared on Saturday by Nigerian digital creator D English Alhaji, purportedly shows several men alleged to be wanted terrorists inside the senator’s residence.
The senator’s identity was not revealed in the video or the accompanying post.
The men were also reportedly seen displaying Nigerian passports allegedly obtained in their names. One of the passports sighted in the footage reportedly bears the name Lawal Usman Shehu.
The circumstances that led to the alleged presence of the men at the residence remain unclear, while it is also unknown whether the senator was aware of their presence or had any connection with them.
As of the time of filing this report, the allegation had not been independently verified, and there was no immediate reaction from the senator, the police or other relevant security agencies.
Authorities are expected to clarify the identities of the men and establish the circumstances surrounding their alleged presence at the residence.
