6 High Profile Nigerians Investigated for Financing Boko Haram
Ongoing investigations have revealed that many prominent and highly placed Nigerians are involved in financing terrorism in the country. The minister of Justice, who also happens to be the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Mr. Abubakar Malami, mentioned that the suspects were already being profiled for persecution by the appropriate authorities.
The news was disclosed by the Minister, while answering questions from State House reporters in Abuja, Nigeria. According to him, investigations revealing the activities of the suspected terrorism financiers were triggered by a recent conviction of some Nigerians in the United Arab Emirate (UAE) for funding Boko Haram.
He said, “I’m happy to report that arriving from the wider coverage investigation that has been conducted in Nigeria, a number of people, both institutional and otherwise, were found to be culpable. I mean reasonable grounds for suspicion of terrorism financing have been established, or perhaps has been proven to be in existence in respect of the transactions of certain high-profile individuals and businessmen across the country.”
This is coming amid heightened attacks by Boko Haram, non-state actors and other perpetrators of violent crimes in different parts of the country.
