Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina says the federal government is not interested in naming and shaming alledged sponsors of terrorism.
Few days ago, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) placed six Nigerians on its terror list.
When Adesina was asked durring an interview on Channels Television if President Muhammadu Buhari would comment on the issue of terrorism at the United Nations assembly, following the naming of six Nigerians as “sponsors of terrorism” in UAE, Adesina said: “Naming and shaming won’t be the motive. Rather, bringing malefactors to justice would be it. Nigeria is not interested in naming and shaming anybody. Rather, it wants to bring them to justice,”
“You will see that the United Arab Emirates has given some names, and the attorney-general of the federation has responded to that matter, saying that in due course, all these people will have their days in court.

“You don’t take people before the court without investigation. I think even the EFCC chairman, Bawa, spoke about it recently. Investigations are going on at different levels,” he said.
“It would be at the level of EFCC; it would be at the level of the National Intelligence Agency. Different security agencies would be working on it so that when those people eventually appear in court, there will be what the lawyers call a prima facie case against them.”
