Musa Muhammad Kamara, ex Senior Special Assistant in the Zamfara State Government has accused Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence and former Zamfara governor, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, of buying vehicles, funding armed bandits, and shielding a notorious terrorist after his arrest.
Matawalle was appointed Minister of State for Defence by President Bola Tinubu in August 2023.
In a video obtained by sources, Kamara, speaking in Hausa, detailed how vehicles and cash were allegedly distributed to wanted terror commanders including Kachalla Halilu, Bello Turji, and Ado Aleru during Matawalle’s tenure as governor.
Kamara said the allegations currently being debated in the media are “not false,” insisting that he personally handled some of the transactions.
According to Kamara, vehicles were purchased under the instructions of the former governor and delivered to the notorious warlords.
Kamara said the allegations currently being debated in the media are “not false,” insisting that he personally handled some of the transactions.
He said, “Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Ta’ala Wabarakatuh. My name is Musa Muhammad Kamara, former SSA under the former Zamfara State Government of Dr. Bello Mutawalle of Maradun.
He further alleged that large sums of money were disbursed to bandit groups across all 14 local government areas of Zamfara State.
The former SSA also stated that he personally handled the purchase and renovation of a house allegedly gifted to terror kingpin Bello Turji.
“I was the one who bought the house. Someone began building it but abandoned it. They came and said I should talk to his younger brother, and I saw a small man with an elephant statue in Fakai town. The house was bought, completed, and handed over.”
Kamara also referenced a separate incident involving Haru Dole, a notorious terror leader said to possess “over 500 AK-47 rifles.”
He claimed Haru Dole was arrested at Gusau Hospital by security operatives and taken to Abuja. “He was arrested by SCS at the Gwasso hospital. They arrested him and took him to Abuja, to the office of Illa Muradi, ” he said.
“From SCS, he was handed over to Illa Muradi’s office. Matawalle sent his aide, Dr. Bashir Maru, to the hospital to take the man and hide him, and that was done,” he alleged.
The former aide insisted that the revelations are necessary to ensure justice for the people of Zamfara State.
