Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum says he is glad that for the first time in 11 years, there appears to be headway on tracking some alleged financiers of Boko Haram’s activities which have left thousands of citizens killed, millions displaced and private property and public institutions worth 9 billion dollars destroyed in Borno, other parts of the northeast and Nigeria at large

Zulum’s message, contained in a statement issued on Tuesday, November 10,  by his spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, was in reaction to the conviction of 6 Nigerians in UAE over Boko Haram funding.

He said, “I urge the Federal Government to consider setting up a multi-stakeholder team with trusted representatives from the Federal Ministries of Justice, Foreign Affairs, the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, NIA, the Defence Intelligence Agency, DIA, the Multinational Joint Task Force in the Lake Chad, and the ECOWAS Intergovernmental Action Group on Terrorist Financing in West Africa, GIABA, to assiduously work with the UAE Government to look into the issues raised by families crying foul play, and more importantly, to follow-up on the findings by the UAE with the hope of using the intelligence, if authenticated, to expand search on other Boko Haram sponsors that may be helping in similar ways”.
