BUHARI TASKS AFRICAN GOVTS TO END TERRORISM SPONSORSHIP
President Muhammadu Buhari says ending insurgency in Africa will require stronger collaboration and commitment from governments, financial institutions and security agencies in tracking the sponsorship of terrorist activities.
In a farewell audience at the State House with the High Commissioner of Kenya to Nigeria, Tom Amolo, President Buhari said terrorist attacks in Africa bear similar trademarks of intense planning, strong alliances and proper financial sponsorship, which must be thoroughly investigated and reversed.
He said terrorist activities always have financial sponsorships which can be seen in their acquisition of weapons and other logistics saying African governments must make efforts to dissuade the younger generation from joining the ranks of terrorist groups, who explore youthful minds for suicide bombings. In his remarks, the outgoing High Commissioner said he enjoyed his stay in Nigeria and still looked forward to returning to the country in the near future.
