PRESIDENT TINUBU MEETS FBI DIRECTOR, CALLS FOR STRONGER COLLABORATION TO FIGHT CYBERCRIME AND TERRORISM

President Bola Tinubu has called for stronger collaboration between Nigeria’s law enforcement agencies and the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the fight against cybercrime, terrorism, and other related crimes.

The FBI is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States of America, and its principal federal law enforcement agency.

The President spoke during a meeting with FBI Director, Christopher Asher Wray, at the State House in Abuja.

Security chiefs who attended the meeting include the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi; the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brigadier-General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd); Chief of Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), Major-General Emmanuel Undiandeye; Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Olanipekun Olukoyede; and the National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Major-General Adamu Laka.

President Tinubu described the presence of the FBI Director alongside his team in Nigeria as a recognition of the enduring partnership between Nigeria and the United States in the fight against financial crimes and terrorism.

''It is an honour for me to receive Director Christopher Wray, the leader of an organization that has demonstrated consistent procedural sophistication and a reputation for excellence over several years. Your visit conveys the importance of Nigeria and Nigerian partnership in the work of America's law enforcement institutions and vice-versa. For us, it is a recognition of what stage we are at, who we are, and the level of interest both countries share in eliminating crimes locally and globally.

''We cannot achieve this important feat of eliminating crimes without collaboration. Incidentally, as the Chairman of ECOWAS, Nigeria is also collaborating with other West African countries to fight economic and other related crimes,'' the President said.

President Tinubu told the FBI Director that his administration has prioritized education as a tool against poverty, which is generally believed to be a driver of criminal activities.

''We are working hard to eliminate terrorism, cybercrimes, sextortion, and I am glad that we have a good number of agencies that are involved in reducing these crimes to the barest minimum, and they are also well represented at this meeting,'' the President said.

Noting that no single country can combat financial crimes in isolation, President Tinubu called on the United States to support developing countries with the requisite technology and knowledge transfer required to combat complex international crimes.

In his remarks, Director Wray said he was in the country to enhance the "outstanding partnership" that exists between the government of Nigeria and the government of the United States.

He lauded President Tinubu for supporting the growing partnerships between various agencies of government and the FBI in order to protect the citizens of both countries.

''We appreciate the President’s vision in countering terrorism in the region, which is a dangerous threat, not only to the countries in the region but also to the United States.

''We appreciate your vision in re-engineering the role of the Office of the NSA to effectively coordinate efforts on counter-terrorism, and this has already started to bear fruits in terms of the success you are recording against ISIS in West Africa and other terrorist groups.

''We appreciate your support and collaboration on cyber-enabled crimes and sextortion, which has unfortunately resulted in a few tragic deaths in the United States.

''I want to assure you of our support whether it is on counter-terrorism, cyber-enabled crimes, kidnapping, joint investigations, and intelligence sharing. Our relationship with Nigeria is a very important one,'' the FBI Director concluded.

Not bad, but why should our president and all his security chiefs gather for a meeting with the head of government agency in US, I find it a little demeaning though

FBI director tells Tinubu to release a US citizen kidnapped by Nigerian government.

Few minutes later, FG withdraws tax evasion charges against binance staff.

.

Na for we Lazy Nigerian youths body he sabi flex muscle 💪. Imagine all the Security chiefs in attendance.. This is low for a Sovereign Nation like Nigeria

Shameful

If they want to rate countries in terms of everything that makes life better, where will your shithole be rated in comparison to the USA?

Your president and his entourage ought to prostrate to that white man, he is a million miles ahead of them. So, stop trying to accord your incompetent president and his followers, the respect they don't deserve.

You can't demean the USA by having just your old and infirm president in such meeting.

I agree with you. Will Biden directly receive the DG DSS, even with all his security chiefs in the USA?

Make somebody hold David Hundeyin, make he no commit suicide.

Better still, make dem protect am so Aitku no go wound am for the false hope he was selling.

This man turns out to be the most useless president Nigeria has ever had. I never believed anyone can be more useless than Buhari.

Problems within you are not able to solve... Always talking trash.

Have they invited the FBI to help them apprehend Yahaya Bello?

And why wasn’t Gumi in the meeting? Gumi knows all about the insecurity in the North.

So, what is the actual outcome of this meeting??

Just audio Future collaborations?

I don’t think so. The visit is a win for Tinubu as he is extremely short on legitimacy, that he is willing to get Nigeria drunk on all the west’ poisons potions , Just so he can compensate for his lack of authenticity.

If he’s told to kill half the population for whatever agenda, he is the president to give a consent, and he does only to please the IMF and IBRD. So have been his pro-west but anti-people policies.

Tinubu deserve national honor for is outstanding performance and turning Nigeria into hunger nation.

David Hundeyin is your biological Father.

He told you Agbado that Nigerian Air was a scam, you shouted at him

He told Tinubu was going to war with Niger, you were shouting Jagaban. Imagine if Nigeria had been involved in a war now with Niger, with our present economic state.

He told you your Tinubu is a forger, you shouted, until the CSU deposition revealed that Tinubu graduated LAGOS GOVERMENT COLLEGE IN 1970, WHEN THE SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED IN 1974, amongst other anomalies.

...


Instead of you to say "thank you Daddy David", you are hailing Agbado chief because of FBI visit. Any white man wey visit, una go begin dey yan IPOB in tears, chai. Who do una this tin?

Agbado with very low IQ.

Una one suffer for this life, come go hellfire dey continue the suffering because of small Agbado. You won throw away your life and eternal life, for supporting wicked wicked people all the days of your life.

Let's do a competition right now, go outside and post your surroundings, post your breakfast, post your standby cash, post your vehicles, post your comfort items... Na only corn you go dey post, dey spit Agbado.

That's why education is so important and badly needed in Nigeria, so we don't produce illetrates and slaves that can't reason for themselves.

The way Pa.Tinubu is operating, I don't think his government will succeed. I have not seen any tactical moves as someone that can make a positive difference.

This country is going Nowhere

They are thanking him for a job well done. He made sure info on Tinubu's drug cases in the US were not released before the election.

The FBI director has come to collect what he was promised.

Bitter grievingory Obi people are here, mourning and grieving unabatedly the agency they are in Abuja seeking cooperation with the so-called criminal and drug lord. So, FBI doesn't have his record again? Bitter grievingory Obi is a chronic loser

Just FBI budget in 2024 is more than $11b that more than half of Nigeria 2024 budget. Microsoft company alone worth more than $3trillion while the whole of Africa is valued less than $2.5t. Am only trying to let you know that comparing Nigeria or Africa to white is just delusion. It is what it is we dont have no choice than to deal with it.

you sabi the game walai..i dy tell people say tinubu cut deal with USA over his certificate issue..

The FBI knows they are dealing with a continuum terrorist regime. They know that the current security forces in Nigeria, are a scam, and most of them are hardened terrorists. People that shield and work with ISIS, Hezbollah, hamas, yemen, various African terrorists, etc.


The USA the great, know how to let terrorists like the current Nigerian sham forces, keep thinking they are unwise.


The FBI knows the igbos are on their side.
