CAPA Says FG’s Terrorist Financing Crackdown ‘Gratifying’…Commends President Bola Tinubu
The Council of American Peace Advocates (CAPA) has commended the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration for its decisive action in identifying and blacklisting 60 new individuals and firms that are linked to terrorist financing.
CAPA in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its Secretary General, Ambassador Rhonda Hardee described the government’s decision to intensify efforts in monitoring and imposing sanctions on facilitators of terrorism as ‘gratifying’ while adding that it will enhance national security.
Condemning the flow of illicit funds which it described as the ‘lifeblood’ of global terror, CAPA also lauded the government’s new security doctrine.
‘This policy officially designates 31 categories of actors as terrorists, including ransom facilitators and the political protectors of violent groups’ the statement said.
The organization has also described this as a pivotal step in the right direction.
CAPA specifically praised the seamless synergy between the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC), the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adding that this collaborative approach yielded significant results between 2024 and 2026, effectively freezing ‘blood money’ assets and dismantling the financial infrastructure of insurgent groups.
‘The inimical acts of these financiers have directly triggered food insecurity in Nigeria’s agricultural hubs.
Forceful evictions and the imposition of illegal ‘harvest taxes’ on farmers have led to chronic food shortages that affect the entire region’ Ambassador Rhonda Hardee said.
With the latest addition of 60 suspects (48 individuals and 12 firms), the total number of entities apprehended or sanctioned in this wave of enforcement has reached 92 and this was sequel to previous crackdowns involving 15 entities in March 2024 and 17 organizations in May 2025.
While celebrating these milestones, CAPA has also urged the Federal Government to widen its dragnet further to expose high-profile collaborators hiding within elite circles.
The Council of American Peace Advocates (CAPA) is dedicated to fostering national unity, conflict resolution, and global peace leadership.
By supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), CAPA works to shape international policies that prioritize diplomacy over militarism and address the root causes of global instability.
During its training programme on Gender Based Violence GBV in March 2026, CAPA empowered over 2,000 women across Africa and the beneficiaries including 1,000 women and men from Nigeria and others were drawn from Eswatini and various regions across the continent to mark the United Nations International Women’s Day-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
