'Kidnapping for ransom is also identified as one of the means of funding terrorism.'

Yaminu Musa, the coordinator, National Counter-Terrorism Centre in the Office of the National Security Adviser , says proceeds of kidnapping are being used to partly finance terrorism.

Mr Musa said the workshop was pertinent to the overall success of the government’s effort to curtail the menace of kidnapping. “In an increasingly interconnected world, where information spreads at an unprecedented pace, the media has the power to either amplify or mitigate the impact of security-related news events.

He said that such collaboration would not only enhance the accuracy and quality of news reporting but also contribute to national security. One of the facilitators of the workshop, Leye Jaiyeola, a retired rear admiral, said “The fusion cell workshop was designed to come up with a joint decision model to allow for an effective multi-agency use and conflict resolution’’.

“Our focus is to make sure that we maintain a strategic national kidnap operation posture, get all the agencies involved in doing it, so that we will be able to put our feet at the right spot and come up with a set of principles so that the commanders will be able to deliver.
