The Defence Chief disclosed this while speaking on a national televison, stressing that naming the finianciers had been delayed because the matter involves legal complexities.

“I think the process of naming the financiers is on. The delay was because it had to do with a lot of legal issues, and because again, it has to do with international connections.

“Some of them have funds coming from outside, we cannot do anything from within. We know them,” he said, adding that other financiers are within Nigeria.

Musa further lauded the effort of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, in exposing financial links to terrorism.

“The NFIU has been doing so much to track terrorism funds. Apart from the intelligence setup, the financial links are also being followed through and through, and arrests have been made.

He also assured that the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu are working effortlessly to tackle the issues.

The military chief also said the State Security Services, the National Intelligence Agency, and other security agencies were working to track Nigerian politicians financing insecurity for personal gains.

“You know criminals work together. They synergise their efforts together, both the bandits and terrorists, because they have a common goal: they want to make money, they want to make sure communities are suffering for whatever reason,” he stated.
