The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Christopher Musa, has disclosed that there are ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to arrest terrorism financiers.
Musa revealed that the Attorney General of the Federation and the National Security Adviser are working to identify those funding terrorism.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Gen Musa said some of these financiers operate from abroad.
He said: “The process is ongoing for this government. I can say that last week the Attorney General has gone to check because it has to do with a lot of legal issues.
“And because it has to do with international connections, some of them have funds coming from outside and we can’t do anything from within.
“The local ones try to employ a few individuals and provide them with motorcycles and those ones are remitting funds daily into some accounts and it’s been tracked.
“Apart from the intelligence setup, the financial leaks are also being followed through and arrests have been made. I can assure you that the Attorney General of the Federation, the NSA are working seriously to ensure that we address those issues.”
