Malami told reporters in New York that the federal government had also succeeded in identifying and detaining “high profile individuals” responsible for funding terrorists’ activities in the country.
The Minister of Justice had announced in May that the government was about to begin the prosecution of about 400 suspected Boko Haram financiers and was profiling some high-profile Nigerians strongly suspected to be financing terrorism for prosecution.
Malami noted that the delay in their prosecution and unveiling the suspects have been criticised in certain quarters, but assured the federal government was determined to take stern measures to counter insurgency in the country.
He however, said the issue of terrorism financing was a work in progress and would not like to be pre-emptive in terms of investigation.
