Boko Haram seizing military weapons worth trillions – Rep member Gadgi

 A member of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yusuf
Adamu Gadgi, has claimed that Boko Haram insurgents have seized weapons and
military assets worth trillions of Naira during attacks on military bases
across Nigeria’s North-East region.

 

Gadgi made the statement while contributing to a motion
moved by Honourable Ahmed Satomi from Borno State.

 

The motion addressed the recent fire outbreak at a military
arms depot in Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, and the increasing attacks by Boko
Haram in Borno and Yobe states.

 

According to Gadgi, the scale of destruction being inflicted
by insurgents on military equipment is unprecedented.

 

He warned that failure to take swift and decisive action
could have dire consequences, especially for elected leaders.

 

“I was shocked by what Boko Haram did at Giwa Barracks and
other military facilities. There’s a serious threat to the security and safety
of Nigerians, and even to the country itself,” he said.

 

Gadgi noted that the National Assembly had allocated
significant funds for the purchase of over 40 combat vehicles and other weapons
for the military, amounting to trillions of naira, to ensure the protection of
citizens.

 

“How can we guarantee the safety of the people under such
conditions, when insurgents can seize these weapons?” he queried.

 

He continued: “The National Assembly is doing its best to address security
matters, but government agencies must also take responsibility. The President
must launch an investigation into the conduct of top military commanders and
other security agencies, and take appropriate action.”

 

“We must also summon these agencies to explain why they are
failing in their duties,” Gadgi added.

 

The lawmaker cautioned that continued negligence from the
government and its security apparatus would erode public trust—posing a major
threat to political leadership and national stability.

 

“If action is not taken quickly, Nigerians may be forced to
defend themselves, and they could begin to see us, their leaders, as
enemies—just like they see Boko Haram,” he warned.
