The Federal Government has begun the process of repatriating funds allegedly stolen by Nigerian fraudsters from individuals
The Director General of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit , Tukur Modibbo dropped the hint in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to him, findings by the NFIU had revealed that some of the illicit funds have been going into terrorism financing and other organised economic crimes. “So, we are working with the NIA, the Police, Immigration and other security agencies to ensure that we end such transactions. “So, what is happening in the North East and the Northwestern state of Zamfara is an international crime. As a result of illicit financial inflow, foreigners come to the country and kill Nigerians.“It’s not that Nigerians are killing one another; foreigners are involved and they get funding from some of these Civil Society Organisations ”.
