HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) has accused the federal government of concealing names of sponsors of terrorists in Nigeria.
The group accused the Minister of Justice and Federal Attorney General Alhaji Abubakar Malami(SAN) of protecting these sponsors of the deadly boko haram terrorist because they are northerners and Moslems.
Join our WhatsApp ChannelThis accusation is coming after Minister of Justice and Federal Attorney General Alhaji Abubakar Malami(SAN), said that government won’t disclose identity of sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria because that will imperil or undermine investigations.
In their words, “the AGF had informed journalists that government will not name the 400 sponsors of terrorism in the country that have already been apprehended, at the moment so it won’t jeopardise investigations.”
HURIWA noted that the naming of sponsors of terrorism that has threatened public safety and national security cannot destroy the investigative process as the government claimed.
” the truth is that 99 percent of those doing the bureau de change business in Kano where the bulk of the suspects were allegedly caught are Moslem and Northerners and so it is clear that most of the decisions of this government including granting Amnesty to Boko Haram terrorists that have killed over 33, 000 citizens, these decisions are highly irresponsible and are just NORTHERN SETTLEMENT FOR TERRORISTS and nothing more. It is unreasonable that a government is much more interested in protecting terrorists and their sponsors than the victims and indeed against the collective interests of the Nigerian public. This is absurd and comical” they added.
