Enenche Calls for Prosecution of Terrorism Sponsors in Nigeria

Major General John Enenche (retd.), a former Director of Defence Media Operations at Defence Headquarters, called on the Federal Government to identify and prosecute sponsors of terrorism and kidnapping in Nigeria. Speaking on Arise Television, he emphasized that security agencies should not only arrest suspected attackers but also track the individuals and networks providing them with support.

Enenche acknowledged a recent military airstrike in Borno State that reportedly killed over 40 Islamic State West Africa Province fighters but stated that isolated military victories are not enough for lasting peace. He questioned why known sponsors of terrorism had not faced prosecution and described kidnapping for ransom as an industry that requires investigation.

Enenche rejected claims that terrorism had been defeated in Nigeria, citing ongoing attacks across various regions. He advocated for greater use of technology in security operations and urged collaboration between security agencies and local communities to improve efforts against insecurity.
