About 400 businessmen have been, reportedly, arrested for allegedly funding Boko Haram insurgents and bandits.
For over a decade, there has not been a clear information on how Boko insurgents are being funded.
According to Daily Trust, the businessmen were arrested in an operation being coordinated by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), and in collaboration with the Department of State Services (DSS), Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The operation was said to have been approved by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020.
