The lawmaker disclosed this while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja on Sunday.<\/p>\n

President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s spokesman, Garba Shehu had recently accused some BDC operators of funding Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

Reacting to Shehu\u2019s remark, Ndume said: \u201cThe presidency said recently that Nigerians would be shocked if it revealed the identities of those who are sponsoring the Boko Haram insurgents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the BDC operators are arrested now, what will the government do with them. The presidency is already saying their case is confidential. What is confidential about it?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presidency should expose the identities of all the BDC operators so far arrested and carry out their trial in public.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf any of them is innocent, he should be allowed to go while those found guilty must be made to face the music.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
