Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the
8th National Assembly, has expressed scepticism over allegations that the late
founder of NASCO Group, manufacturers of the popular Nasco corn flakes, Ahmed
Idris Nasreddin, was part of those sponsoring terrorism in the north.
A freelance investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, had
published a finding that the late NASCO boss, alongside some other prominent
northern figures, was allegedly financing some regional terrorism, including
Boko Haram.
Reacting to the allegation, in a post on his official
Facebook page, the former lawmaker expressed doubt on the report, stating that
more facts are stilled needed to convince the general public.
The post reads, “It’s doubtful that a reputable company like
NASCO, that has contributed immensely to the industrial and economic
development of the North and Nigeria as a whole, provided employment
opportunities for thousands, assisted families and for decades, remain
steadfast in the face of all our political, security and economic challenges,
can now be accused of funding terrorism.
“More facts are needed otherwise let’s not destroy those who
believe and still stand with us while others have left for long”.
