President Bola Tinubu has revealed that over 100 individuals were convicted for financing terrorism in the past two years.
Speaking at the 2025 National AML/CFT/CPF Summit in Abuja, Tinubu, represented by SGF George Akume claimed success for disrupting financial networks of groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP.
He credited the success to collaborations between the National Security Adviser’s office and the Attorney-General.
“Denying these groups funding is key to protecting our communities and aligns with global crime-fighting standards,” Tinubu said.
Highlighting efforts such as the National Anti-Money Laundering Strategy and increased investments in agencies like the EFCC, ICPC, and NDLEA Tinubu urged private sector players, including banks and accountants to take on crucial roles in curbing financial crimes.
