Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai (retd.), has claimed he cannot be held responsible for the failure to publicly disclose the names of individuals allegedly financing terrorism in Nigeria.
Buratai made this known on Friday while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he stated that relevant government agencies are already aware of those behind terror financing.
“You cannot say I should be responsible for naming the financiers of terror,” Buratai said.
“It’s not just about mentioning names; those agencies know why the names are not released. Action should be taken; these individuals are still within society today, and they are known. I take responsibility for certain things that are strictly the Nigerian Army’s responsibility.”
He also claimed that the decision to rehabilitate repentant Boko Haram members was not taken by the Nigerian Army but by the government.
“The initial concept that we had was that we gave them a timeline to surrender in 2016, and if they surrendered, we gave them a free passage and handed them over to appropriate agencies to rehabilitate them,” he added.
Buratai further lamented the worsening security situation in the country, stressing the need for improved intelligence gathering to tackle insecurity.
He also urged the government to recruit more security personnel to strengthen efforts aimed at making the country safer.
