Former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Turku Buratai (rtd), has stated that individuals funding terrorist activities are still present within society.
Buratai stated this on Friday during a live appearance in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
According to him, it is not enough to mention their names, noting that action should be taken against them.
“This is another issue. We over-rely on the military. Everybody has his own responsibility.
“You cannot say I should be responsible for naming the financiers of terror…It’s not just about mentioning names. Action should be taken.
“These individuals are still within society Today, and they are known. Even those who has been arrested in connection with Boko Haram are still not being prosecuted,” Buratai said.
