Afnews Editor

In President Muhammadu Buhari’s Independence Day Speech marking 61st birthday of Nigeria, the president stated that investigation has revealed certain high-profile financiers of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

 

In the statement, the president pointed to an unidentified national assembly member as one of the key financiers of the IPOB leader.

 

Read statement below:  

 

The recent arrests of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Adeyemo, and the ongoing investigations being conducted have revealed certain high-profile financiers behind these individuals. We are vigorously pursuing these financiers including one identified as a serving member of the national assembly.

Fellow Nigerians,

This is a clear example of how people abandon their national leadership positions for their selfish gains. Instead of preaching unity, they are funding and misleading our youth to conduct criminal acts that sometimes lead to unfortunate and unnecessary loss of lives and property.

As the so-called leaders run abroad to hide, our innocent youths are misled and left in the streets to fight for their senseless and destructive causes.

Government will continue, with greater level of peoples’ participation and in collaboration with our international partners, to improve the security architecture, reduce enabling environment for criminality to thrive and eliminate opportunities for terrorism financing.

 

Recall that Nnamdi Kanu has remained in DSS custody after his Gestapo arrest from Kenya.

 

In this same speech, no mention was made of the suspected financiers of Boko Haram who were recently published by UAE authorities.
