He stated this on Thursday at a press conference, saying that the suspected companies and individuals were uncovered by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit.

He said, “To check terrorism financing in Nigeria, the Federal Government has deployed a plethora of tools, including the Money Laundering Act, 2004, the EFCC Act, 2004, the ICPC Act, 2000, Department of State Services and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit to deal with the issue of corruption, money laundering and terror financing.

Mohammed added, “For its part, the analysis by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, in 2020-2021, revealed 96 financiers of terrorism in Nigeria, 424 associates/supporters of the financiers, involvement of about 123 companies and 33 bureaux de change, in addition to identifying 26 suspected bandits/kidnappers and 7 co-conspirators.

Their names should be released and I hope it doesn't take the old Nigerians way: i.e how many southerners/ northerners/ westerners/easterners,are involved.

Give us their names from the raw data files. Electioneering is here, Gas lighting legit opposition will not be tolerated.

Then....? What should we do or what should govt do?

I don't trust this man one bit. He shouldn't still be information minister if Buhari were wide awake.

Nigeria is an animal kingdom, an evil forest called a country

ALL NA WASH. NA TODAY! ZERO POLITICAL WILL.

Mohammed_Lai sir please don't be offended how old are you

FG actually missed twitter, thinking about it now,can twitter suspend FG or Mr Lai?

Only mumu like them will still believe in their lies Government of lies propagated by lies and build on the foundation of lies APC

Same old story wey we don hear taya, all talks as usual 😜.

Have you arrested them?

So, what are you guys waiting for, give them a national honour?

Look at his mouth like someone eternally eating palmfruit. When David Hundeyin uncovered NASCO as a terrorism financing company, the govt turned a blind eye. In fact, they were hunting for David instead. Cos the owner of the company is not Okonkwo or Okoroafor.

E ku Ojo meta o Alhaji. It's so nice having you back as we've lacked lies so much in your absence. Welcome back Sir I was about to believe in the news until when I saw Mohammed_Lai's name, I then realised that everything here is fibs and propaganda.

If no names are published,it is just Unnecessary Noise.

Lai Mohammad, you have not said anything new. It has been the same story for the past two years. Please tell us something new and efforts towards stopping the daily shedding of blood.

List this companies, we need to know them seriously, because we suppose know

A government that released same terrorist. The next thing you will hear is that their sponsor are members of the opposite party

These guys should be ashamed of themselves.....are we to start dancing for discovering what you will not publish or act on? I expected these men to be wiser than this...

Abeg make we hear word jor.. Audio linked nothing will come out of it

I hope my company is not included 😳😳😳

FG don't have any moral responsibility to accuse anyone because they are partakers in the same crime

They want to shut some innocent company down. Creating more jobless people.

Those Companies and others don’t have name

This APC administration is knwn 4 releas'g false alarm which will never be substantiated. Who'll believe this lies com'g frm Liar Mohammed who has in several occasion released similar false alarm. All Nig'ns wants now is d immediate prosecution of suspects to prove their claims.

APC election propaganda

A people who perpetually lies to themselves…what a country, what a people!!!!!!!!

Ummmm, look in the mirror. We ain't buying this propaganda!

Believe lie Mohamed at your own peril.

This government is a joke. No arrest was made for those alleged culprits. Senseless people at the helm of affairs.

Cheap talk, choor choor

Elections is near

The names of the companies and the names of others. We are still waiting for the list of those sponsoring these element terrorising the country. Are their names too heavy to mention.
