Tinubu urged to probe alleged financiers of terrorism

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been called upon to set up a judicial commission of inquiry aimed at exposing alleged financiers of terrorism in Zamfara State.

The Zamfara Youth Vanguard for Peace (ZYVP) behind the call argued that the measure is required to curtail the growing terror threat in the northwest geopolitical zone of the country.

In a letter to the President and copied to the National Security Adviser and the Attorney General of the Federation, they stressed the need to ensure the safety and well-being of Nigerians.

Decrying the crackdown on whistleblowers in the state, they noted that where the inquiry establishes that anybody is a threat to society, such a person should be placed on a terror watch list.

“His other activities should be closely scrutinized to forestall his capacity to plot and execute further attacks against Nigeria. We believe that Mr President setting up this judicial commission of inquiry would be a first step to tearing down this terror threat to Nigeria from the northwest.

“We have done our bit for humanity by flagging the danger that the Governor poses to the human race in the Zamfara area and expect that the Federal Government will reciprocate by preventing this threat from growing.”
