The minister of justice and attorney general of the federation Abubakar Malami on Monday, claimed that the past administration looted funds meant to fight against terrorism.
The minister while speaking on a radio programme said the administration of president Muhammadu Buhari has cleared the mess of the past administration, using the money recovered from looted assets to fight terrorism.
Nwanwhikw, presidential spokesman Femi Adesina is admitting that there is insecurity in the nation, and is optimistic that high-profile insurgents will soon be taken out.
While speaking on live television, Adesina claimed that with the current efforts on improving security, insurgency could be brought to an end within the 17 months that President Buhari has left in office.
He likened Nigeria’s current state of insecurity to Sri Lanka under the threat of the Tamil Tigers rebellion which lasted for 28 years and ended the day the mastermind of the rebellion was killed.
