The Department of State Services (DSS), Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), and other agencies, yesterday, vowed to disrupt terrorists’ networks as part of measures to mitigate money laundering and terror-financing in the country.
The resolve was the highpoint of a two-day workshop held at the headquarters of the DSS in Abuja.
The workshop was themed, “Terrorism Financing Risk (TFR) for Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism/Countering Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF).”
The conference was organised for stakeholders from relevant law enforcement agencies and other regulatory and criminal justice sector agencies to brainstorm on the scourge of terrorism financing and money laundering.
In his opening remarks, Director-General of DSS, Mr. Yusuf Bichi, called for critical thinking by law enforcement agencies in order to achieve the desired results.
Bichi called for strict application of anti-money laundering/countering financing terrorism measures.
