 Although the federal government says it knows highly placed persons financing terrorism, a security expert is of the opinion that the inclusion of six Nigerians in the global terrorism sponsor list implies that a government is not proactive. Mercier Bokbo captures the opinion of security experts in this report. Activities of terrorism are worsening in Nigeria as funding and sponsors of the insurgents remain largely unknown by security agencies, apart from statements from government quarters alleging knowledge of such. A security expert, Yahoze Getso, who was a guest on the breakfasts on Plos TV Africa, believes the government is not doing much in this light. Yes, of course. Nigerian government was a bit relaxed because they have noted in their homework. I did mean they have done their homework. They couldn't have arrested them long before now. And the list could have been shared with the international community, not to wait until the United Arab Emirates sharing the list and declaring them wanted. This is a slap. It's a diplomatic slap. It's a security slap. And it exposes the weakness of our intelligence and it also exposes the weakness of Nigeria's investigation procedure and also it also exposed the weakness of Nigeria's capability. He says the government needs to collaborate with the government of the United Arab Emirates and orders to fight terrorism in Nigeria. It depends on the agreement. The the the memorandum of understanding as far as persecution is concerned of a criminal Nigerian criminal found who committed an offence in UAE or who committed an offence in Nigeria or a UAE indigent that who may be committing an offence in Nigeria. So it all depends on what we have on the memorandum of understanding. Another analyst, Tonio Foyato, says government has the intelligence on terrorists and those funding the activities in Nigeria but needs to be decisive and deliberate. The laws on the president do not go beyond in the territories, go beyond all these things and take decisive action against those that have been enacted, those that have been fingered. Forget about whether they have this very religious attitude. Forget about whether they have this much right with you. Forget about whether they have this very political, political objection. Meanwhile, the Nigerians included in the global terror list by the UAE were arrested in 2017 and prosecuted in 2020 with a 10-year sentence each. Merci beaucoup for Plus TV Africa.
