Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari has emphasised the need to curb the flow of terrorism financing.

President Buhari

Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, in a statement issued in Abuja, said Buhari was speaking at the meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
He said the President spoke under the theme, “Towards a Comprehensive Approach to Combat the Transnational Threat to Terrorism”, on Saturday.

The President maintained that “concerted efforts must be made to not only dismantle the network between transnational organised crimes and terrorist organisations, but also to block the payment of ransom to terrorist groups.

While recalling the UN Resolution 1373 which stressed that “any person who participates in the financing, planning, preparation or perpetration of terrorist acts should be brought to justice”, he said Nigeria remained committed to supporting counter terrorism efforts within the African Union and the United Nations.

The Nigerian leader called for resolute and coordinated initiatives by developing an AU data base of persons or groups and entities involved in terrorist acts for use by law enforcement agents.

“”Nigeria believes that the timely establishment of this tool at the continental level will be strategic in this fight,’’ he added.

President Buhari expressed Nigeria’s grave concern over the increasing threats posed by transnational terrorism and the attendant humanitarian crisis.

He also condemned in the strongest terms the continued activities of the terrorist groups in Africa, and around the world and called for more concerted action by the African body and the international community to address the global scourge.

According to him, in doing that, the conditions that are conducive to the spread of extremism, radicalisation and terrorism must first be addressed.

He added that collaborative measures must be taken to disrupt the recruitment of terrorists, their financing networks and the movement of foreign fighters.

President Buhari disclosed that Nigeria had enacted domestic anti-terrorism laws that also deal with related issues such as kidnapping, drug peddling and gun-running.

He, however, noted that, “terrorism cannot be defeated only through military force and law enforcement measures.

“”We need to adopt a multifaceted approach of good governance, economic development and creation of job opportunities for our youth.”

Linking terrorist activities to climate change, the President reiterated Nigeria’s “important call for global action to support the recharging of the Lake Chad Basin,” which had shrunk by over 80 per cent.

He noted that this had impacted negatively on the livelihood of millions of people in the countries of the Basin.

“”There is considerable evidence that the environmental state of the Lake contributed to the radicalisation of jobless youth who joined Boko Haram,’’ he further stated.

In their submissions, the Chairperson of the AU Peace and Security Council, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, the African Union Commission Chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat, and the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, agreed on the real threat of transnational terrorism.

They therefore stressed the need for global efforts to curb the negative trend.(NAN)

•Northern CAN kicks against cattle colonies

Noah Ebije, Kaduna, Okwe Obi, Abuja

The Federal Government has earmarked N5.30 billion on national grazing reserve development in the 2018 budget which is being considered by the National Assembly.

The budget is coming at a time when the country is grappling with herdsmen and farmers clashes, leaving scores of people dead, homeless, especially in Benue, Taraba and Ekiti states.

Meanwhile, the 19 northern states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has kicked against the Federal Government’s plan to establish cattle colonies for Fulani herdsmen across the country.

CAN noted that if government goes ahead with the plan, it means that government knows the killers in Benue and other parts of the country.

However, speaking in an interview with Daily Sun, Public Relations Officer of northern CAN, Reverend Joseph Hayab said provision of cattle colony was like putting the horse before the cart.

“The issue of cattle colony will not address the killings because why are those people killing? If you provide them with cattle colony, will they stop the killing? The killings will not stop because you have not removed evil from the heart of a man and you are providing him with colony.

“Now, whose land are you going to take and provide the colony? It is when the right thing is done that the people can now sit down and talk, dialogue before we even begin to talk of providing or not providing colony.

“Government is even contradicting itself by saying those killing the people are not Fulani, so, if they are not Fulani, who, then, are you providing the cattle colony for?
“And, if the killers are foreigners, as some people are claiming, we should then give our land to criminals to stop killing us?

“I think we are seeing criminals who have taken advantage of the weakness of our security agencies and nobody is addressing it and government is telling us that criminals must be given colony to feed cattle.

“I think there is a mix-up here, because if you say you are providing colony for them, who are they? You know them, therefore, you must arrest them first because they are criminals…

“Let me tell you, I was in the team of CAN officials who visited Benue State, about two weeks ago. We visited many places in the state, what we saw was so sad.“The killings must stop and it is only government that has all the machineries to stop the killings.

“Government must stop the killings and call for dialogue. You can imagine a man who has lost father, mother, brothers, sister, farms, cows and everything you can think of; what form of dialogue or discussion are you going to hold with him while he is in pains and killing has not stopped?

“We must put the government to task; to stop this killing and not allow it to use divide and rule to set Nigerians against themselves.

“So, provision of colony is a wrong step that cannot address the real issue because you don’t empower criminals to overpower you in your own land.

“We are not happy because our people can no longer go to the church, go to the farm, go to the market, and so on and so forth.

“We are calling on the federal government to end the killings in the region.”

Buhari should be wasting his tim contesting 2019 election

They have played fast one on oyinbo woman

“Why should one set of people be in the bush because they are keeping herds and trying to give us meat when we can give them better life, secure the farmers, secure the herdsmen from rustlers and give the Fulani man, the Ijaw, the Ibiobioo, or the Yoruba, our good attention?”
This Ogbeh of a man is very foolish

They should establish first in sokoto

Buhari is a punishment to Nigeria

The committee is death on arrival

I want southern Nigeria

By next week we shall see the ready states.

Your intention from the beginning was to play the girl you got what you bargained

Op they are selling cat in the market go and buy one

A 45-year-old carpenter, Olumide Akinleye, who allegedly cohabited with and raped his own daughter, is to remain behind bars pending judgment, an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court ordered in Ibadan on Friday.

Chief Magistrate Modina Akanni, who gave the ruling, said Akinleye should be remanded in prison.

The randy father had admitted committing the offence.

Akinleye, who lives in Odo-Ona Elewe in Ibadan, is facing a charge of having unlawful carnal knowledge of his biological daughter.

Earlier, Police Prosecutor Sunday Fatola told the court that Akinleye had a carnal knowledge of his 18-year-old daughter in their apartment.

Seriously this man is a fool

Alariiwo:
I enjoy politics no doubt.. But there has to be limits.

See what Ohaneze (the only Igbo association not regarded as terrorists) came out to say the other day concerning Benue crisis.
Is that the right thing to say about your fellow countrymen all cos your preferred candidate lost in 2015.

What is bad is bad.

IamLaura:
I'm sorry about what happened to that innocent man but its the same way your people rejoiced and celebrated the killings of Innocent Igbo people and ipob members by the Nigerian army.
No one has the monopoly for insensitivity.

Yoruba are worst at it.
