Why it’s difficult to track terrorism financing in Nigeria – Experts

Nigeria’s largely cash-based and informal economy has made it difficult for security agencies to trace the movement of illicit funds, especially those meant for funding terror activities, a panel of experts said Wednesday.

The experts spoke during a panel session at a symposium organised by the Center for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity in Abuja on Wednesday.

The panellists include Peter Enoch from the State Security Service (SSS); Sa’ad Hannafi, former director of military intelligence; Ademola Lawal, a retired colonel in the Nigerian Army; Ibrahim Ditse from the National Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and Ibrahim Adeyemi, Deputy Investigations Editor, Humangle media.
