Former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, has stated that he cannot be held responsible for the identification or disclosure of individuals allegedly financing terrorism.
Speaking on Friday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Tukur Buratai explained that the Federal Government and relevant agencies are better positioned to determine why such names have not been made public.
According to Tukur Buratai: “We over rely on the military and Army, everybody has its own responsibility, the government knows where the source came from; we have agencies that are responsible.
“You cannot say I should be responsible for naming the financiers of terror.
“It’s not just about mentioning names, those agencies know why the names are not released.
“Action should be taken, these individuals are still within society Today, and they are known.
“I take responsibility for certain things that are strictly the Nigerian Army’s responsibility.
“It’s government decision and not that of Army to rehabilitate repentant Boko Haram, the initial concept that we had was that we gave them a timeline to surrender in 2016 and if they surrender we gave them a free passage and hand them over to appropriate agencies to rehabilitate them.”
