NO Evidence USAID Is Funding Boko Haram – US Ambassador Dismisses Allegations
The United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, has debunked allegations that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is funding terror sect, Boko Haram or any other terrorist organisation.
He said there is no evidence to support such claims.
Recall that, Scott Perry, a Republican from Pennsylvania, had claimed that USAID funds were being diverted to finance terrorist groups, including Boko Haram.
The ambassador said this after a meeting with the Nigeria Governors Forum in Abuja on Wednesday night.
He added that, that no country condemns Boko Haram’s violence more strongly than the United States.
“If we ever had evidence that any programme funding was being misused by Boko Haram, we would immediately investigate it with our Nigerian partners,” Mills assured.
