Naijaonpoint reports that Adeyemi made this claim during an interview on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm, adding that the terrorists have in-house agents.
Adeyemi said, “They made sure they were already formidable enough, and don’t forget this terrorist, no doubt have people who are backing them in and outside the country.
“They were waiting to see the focus of the Asiwaju government that took some highly courageous decisions that were aimed at emancipating Nigeria to another level.”
According to the former lawmaker, while campaigns are ongoing, killings have gone down because the terrorists were moving in thousands to the country’s forests.
Adeyemisaid that there are insiders who are acting as agents for the terrorists.
He said, “As of the time they were changing the service chiefs, they were very much aware that the terrorists were building, becoming more formidable.
“This insecurity you are seeing in Nigeria has been going on for 20 years.
“I ran into them in 1998. They kill people, but nobody reports them. The people from the north can attest to it, so that has been happening in Nigeria over the years.”
