But HURIWA said the spraying of naira at Obi Cubana’s event should not constitute a major talking point, adding that there have been countless high societal functions where the naira was also abused.
“The fact that friends and well-wishers who attended the event decided to show appreciation to Mr Obi Cubana, we in the Human Rights Writers Association Of Nigeria, think it should not become the talking point. “The Central Bank of Nigeria under the current dispensation should rather be tasked by the media to confront the much more disturbing issue of how terrorism is funded and how armed kidnappers made up of Fulani militia in the North carry out their terrorism-related activities such as accepting huge sums of ransoms from victims of kidnappings but yet neither the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission nor the CBN have successfully exposed these illicit commercial transactions.
“EFCC and CBN and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit should tell Nigerians why they have failed spectacularly to trace the financing of terrorism and kidnapping kingpins,” the statement read.
