Nigerian Government Defends Delay in Terrorism-Financing Trials Amid Public Frustration
The Nigerian government has explained the delays in terrorism-financing trials, attributing them to the intricate and sensitive nature of the investigations. Minister Moham Idri clarified the situation, highlighting the complexity involved in tracing and proving financial networks funding insurgent groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP.
