Tchani lied over military camp claim: Sokoto, Kebbi border community leaders

Tchiani in a Christmas Day interview had claimed that Nigeria had provided a base for French soldiers near Lake Chad. He also claimed training camps had been established for terrorists in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara, all aimed at destabilising Niger. Findings, however, indicated that there was no training camp in any of the states bordering Niger as claimed by Tchiani. Alhaji Aminu Aliyu, the District Head of Balle, a border community with Niger, in Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State, dismissed Tchiani’s claims.
