Alleged terrorism: Our hands tied on Pantami, says Senate


The Minister has been in the news since the audio clips of his alleged support for terrorism in the past surfaced on social media recently. Some Nigerians have also blamed the Senate for not doing a thorough screening on Pantami before his appointment was confirmed by the red chamber. But speaking with Sunday PUNCH in Abuja on Saturday, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Dr. Ajibola Basiru, said the upper chamber should not be blamed for clearing Pantami for appointment. Basiru added that no petition had been sent to the Senate, detailing specific allegations against Pantami, since the matter came to the limelight penultimate week. “The Senate can only act based on the information at its disposal as of the time of the screening.
