Senator Buba Submits To Security Agencies Over Terrorism Allegations

Senator representing Bauchi South Senatorial District Shehu Buba Umar has voluntarily submitted himself to the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Police and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), for investigation over allegations linking him to terrorism financing, kidnapping and other violent crimes.

Buba disclosed this at a press conference in Bauchi, capital of Bauchi State, on Monday 14 September 2026.

According to him, he has nothing to hide and is prepared to cooperate fully with security agencies to establish the facts surrounding the allegations.

He said his decision follows repeated circulation of the claims, which he described as serious allegations requiring professional investigation rather than political arguments.

He also pointed out that he has previously served in the National Assembly in a capacity that involved national security and intelligence, where he worked with military, intelligence and other security agencies in efforts to combat banditry, terrorism, kidnapping and other criminal activities.

He alleged that legitimate security-related activities had been distorted to create an impression that he maintains links with criminal elements.

“I will not ask Nigerians simply to take my word for it. That is precisely why I have submitted myself to the relevant security agencies. Let the professionals investigate,” he said.

Buba said he had earlier petitioned the Nigeria Police Force in September 2025 over publications containing the allegations, resulting in criminal proceedings before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

He added that his legal team had also instituted legal action against an individual it believed was behind some of the allegations, with the matter referred for Interpol intervention.

The senator said litigation alone was no longer sufficient because the allegations bordered on national security, stressing that relevant security institutions should be allowed to investigate and establish the facts.

He reaffirmed his commitment to peace, security, justice and service to the people of Bauchi State and Nigeria, saying he would accept the outcome of any credible investigation based on facts and evidence.

Which of them doesn't? Our hallowed chambers are filled with the worst of the worst.

Every politician knows 70% criminals in his domain and every DPO knows 90% criminals in his jurisdiction.

They are deliberately not arresting them, because they are tools in the hands of politicians.

They either using them to win elections, or using them as bargain chip for govt at center.


If military takes over today, insecurities in Nigeria would go down to 30%.

Nothing will come out of it.
The man voluntarily submit himself with confidence.

The matter has been raging for weeks, no invites, no arrests, no questioning

HE IS A TERRORIST. HE WILL STILL CLEAR HIS NAME BECAUSE OUR SECURITY AGENCIES ARE ALSO INVOLVE IN THE BUSINESS.

With all that was revealed, coupled with the letter written against him by Bauchi state governor last year. This senator is guilty as charged, they should leave investigation and make him confess.

The only thing be say, him partners in powers go done dey discharge all evidence and dey press button to protect themselves...

This senator, can't be the only high profile official involved in this.


Am sure the one that called bandits "our brothers" and the cleric always defending them are all involved.

More smoke and mirrors. Only God will save you Nigerians from the hands of these territorists and their sleeper agents

If he is submitting to them, then it means he is submitting to himself.

I can guarantee this to the supporters and perpetrators of terrorism in Nigeria: there is an extent to which religious terrorism can go. At some point, the Christians will rise and push back. They surely will. There has never been a time on earth in which darkness was allowed to take full control.

The Arabs terrorized the Jews and trode them under. But the Jews pushed back, and here we are today, the arabs being powerless and left only with the strength to beg for mercy.

For the same dss that evidence was realised of Thier involvement in training bandits.

Politics, with all the evidence, hmmmm

He has done the needful before submitting.
APC will look for a way to blackmail you so that they'll be able to hold you on your throat conveniently

If it was to be a southern senator,every corner of the country will be buzzing by now.

Bros, you don't need to be ashamed.
Come out with your chest held high and declare who you are.

You are a supporter of terrorism in Nigeria.

find or no find everything is under carpet already because he is rich

They will not do a thorough job.

How could they claim they were not aware of his criminal activities.

All those political drama will produce no significant results. They have staged the whole thing, his protectors have asked him to present himself for scrutiny why they handle it from the other end.
Don't bother about that guy being investigated...

People have been killed by security agencies for mere allegations of being members of proscribed organizations or unalived and later tagged as such. Just few weeks ago the DSS openly admitted burying a woman from Enugu in far away north detention center over same accusations.

Here we are seeing videos, photos, corroborated testimonies and not one word from these agencies. Now he is submitting himself as homework abi assignment!

Our laws are for the poor and nobody can tell me otherwise.

You think Nigerian muslims are joking when they always insist on one important Aso Rock job (National Security Adviser)?

Make una dey play na.
Make una dey celebrate for the ambassador to Mexico or South Africa position.
Make una de celebrate for Senate President position.
Make una dey celebrate for minister of defence position.

As una dey celebrate, others dey make sure say some key positions, like DSS Director, NIA, and importantly NSA belongs to them. Anyone who tries taking part, wetin dem do Azazi, dem go do am too.

Nothing will still happen

This guy should be deligently prosecuted and detained indefinitely

I don't think the government will do justice to this man investigation, if possible, international community should look into this issue

He voluntarily submitted himself? I tell you Nigerian security agencies are the most incompetent in the world. But they know how deeply involved the APC is in the insecurity in this country.

He should be thoroughly investigated based on the weighty allegations and if found culpable, he should be paraded publicly on national TV and shot at close range to serve as deterrent to others.

Thank you for your attention to this matter l.

You are a supporter of terrorism in Nigeria.

Sorry I find it hard to comprehend what you just wrote. Are you refering to Senator Buba as a terrorism supporter or you're refering to me as such?

Only a psychopath without sympathy for the sufferings of mankind would support Terrorism.

There no smoke without fire: he should be thoroughly investigated

This is the first line of integrity from his side... The security personnel should as a matter of urgency expedite the process and declassified the investigation for transparency and accountability!
