Northern Coalition Demands Probe of Defence Minister Matawalle Over Alleged Links to Bandits in Zamfara The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has called on the National Assembly to launch an urgent investigation into allegations linking Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, to bandit leaders in Zamfara State. The group cited alleged confessional statements by a former aide accusing political figures of funding and supporting criminal networks. CNG warned that the claims, if proven, could undermine Nigeria’s security efforts and demanded a transparent, independent probe with full protection for whistle-blowers. #BelloMatawalle #BanditryInNigeria #NationalAssemblyProbe
