In a letter to the President, the group claimed Lawal paid N1.378 billion to bandits and terrorists, contradicting claims of peacebuilding efforts.
According to a New Telegraph report, the ZYVP claimed that this payment has led to an upsurge in terrorist activities in the region, and the governor has allegedly ordered crackdowns on whistleblowers who exposed the questionable payments.
The group alleged that these whistleblowers are being held incommunicado and charged with forgery to redirect attention from Lawal’s crimes.
Governor Lawal accused of visiting convicted terrorist
ZYVP also claimed that Lawal has ties to convicted terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, his brother-in-law. Lawal’s recent visit to the US, where he met with Abdulmutallab at the Administrative Maximum Facility in Colorado, has raised concerns about his intentions. The group believes Lawal is plotting to internationalize the war against the Nigerian state.
The ZYVP letter also mentioned law enforcement agencies’ apprehension of Lawal’s associate, Bashir Hadejia. Hadejia confessed to plotting to destabilize Nigeria and implementing this agenda through protests. The group urged the President to investigate Lawal’s role in supporting terrorism and ensure Nigerians’ safety.
