Appearing on Channels Television, Garba disclosed that some
Nigerians have been arrested in connection with the financing of Boko Haram.
Shehu said investigation was ongoing over the financing of
Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria.
According to him, the result of the investigation would
shock Nigerians.

worship and farmland are places where killers of policemen and security
officials are being harboured.
“The new Service chiefs are working with the IG and heads of
intelligence agencies and there is a clear lead.
“A lot of people have been arrested in terms of their
financing (of terrorism).
“There are a number of people who are currently under
arrest.

Boko Haram terrorists and this also happens domestically.
