The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), has disclosed that the Federal Government has successfully blocked the channels through which funds get to terrorists.

Malami noted that government embarked on a thorough investigation which led to the discovery of the financiers.

He made this disclosure while addressing the press in New York, United States.

Recall that Malami accompanied President Muhammadu Buhari to New York to attend the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

While the Minister fell short of disclosing the identities of the financiers, he however noted that the government has already began legal processes on the matter.

He added that evidences, court orders have been acquired and obtained.

In his words, “As far as that aspect (of terrorism financing) is concerned, we have succeeded, one, in identifying those that are responsible for funding.

“Two, blocking the leakages associated with the funding, and then, three, embarking on an aggressive investigation that is indeed impacting positively in terms of the fight against terrorism.

“One thing I can tell you for sure is that whatever we do, in terms of detention and arrest, is indeed backed by judicial processes.

“We have acquired and obtained legitimate court orders, taking into consideration the facts and material proof of evidence presented before the court on account of which the court eventually exercises its discretion in terms of granting orders that we can have the suspects in custody pending the conclusion of the investigation.”

This is coming days after the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina had disclosed that the government has no plan of naming and shaming the sponsors of terrorism in the country.

“Naming and shaming will not be the motive, bringing malefactors to justice will be it,” Adesina had said.
