Top officers of Nigerian intelligence services are on the trail of a retired security personnel over a recent news report linking a Northern senator to terrorism.

PRNigeria gathered that, the personnel, who, upon retirement, was retained, is from the North-central zone of the country.

Revealing this, a top operative, who gave a vivid description of the personnel, said: “We have identified the mastermind of the media report aimed at ‘denigrating’ northern senators, when PRNigeria confronted him with the newspaper report indicting a northern senator.

“During our investigation, we gathered that a retired security officer who is still in the service, having been retained, is the chief mastermind. The ex-security officer is from a state in the middle belt.

“But by the time we track him, he will be made to reveal the Senator he is accusing. Because you cannot pitch some group of people against Nigerians,” he said.

Besides, several top officers of the intelligence services also point to the fact that story was meant to pitch northern senators against Nigerians.

“We  have uncovered plots by some ‘unscrupulous elements’ to pitch Senators of Northern extraction in the 10th National Assembly against the masses.”

The officers, under anonymity, further told PRNigeria that the hatchet job of the ‘mischievous persons’ is also aimed at pitching the nation’s security services against one another.

They made the assertion while reacting to a newspaper report alleging that an influential Northern Senator is closely being watched by security agencies in the country for reportedly spearheading terrorism, banditry and Kidnapping.

According to the report, the powerful lawmaker, who is also heading a sensitive committee in the senate, has been identified as one of the sponsors and financiers of banditry and other terror-related activities in the North.

But a top-ranking intelligence officer, while reacting to the report, told PRNigeria in confidence that their investigation has revealed those behind the story, which he described as a “fabrication”.

He said: “Our discreet investigation has unmasked those instigating the baseless story in the media. Presently, our security service is not prosecuting or investigating any Senator for sponsoring banditry or terrorism”.
