Retired General Reveals Release of Boko Haram Leader and Terrorism Financing Suspects

Retired Major General Danjuma Hamisu Ali Keffi disclosed a comprehensive investigation into the release of 48 terrorism financing suspects, including a key Boko Haram leader, under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. The suspects were identified by foreign intelligence agencies, and their release has sparked concerns about compromised national security.

The investigation involved collaboration with 33 countries, including the US, UK, and EU. Notably, the suspects were linked to diverting counterterror funds and operating illegal financial activities.

The release of individuals like Saidu Ahm, a known Boko Haram leader, has raised questions about the integrity of the Nigerian financial system.
