FG not interested in naming, shaming terrorism financiers – Femi Adesina

The Federal Government on Monday said it was “not interested in naming and shaming anybody” involved in the sponsorship of terrorists in the country.

The government, however said it was more interested in bringing the “malefactors” to justice.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, President Muhammadu Buhari stated this on Monday evening, when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’.

Recall that the United Arab Emirates (UAE). United Arab Emirates named and prosecuted six Nigerians and 32 others for allegedly financing terrorism.

But the Presidential aid when asked if Buhari would comment on the issue of terrorism at the United Nations General Assembly, following the UAE action,” he replied: “Naming and shaming won’t be the motive. Rather, bringing malefactors to justice would be it.

“Nigeria is not interested in naming and shaming anybody. Rather, it wants to bring them to justice.

“You will see that the UAE has given some names, and the Attorney-General of the Federation(Abubakar Malami) has responded to that matter, saying that in due course, all these people will have their days in court.

“Rest assured that these people will be dragged before justice and justice will have its way.”
