A former commissioner of police, Emmanuel Ojukwu, says Nigerian government officials have compromised the prosecution of terrorists in the country. Featuring on Channels Television evening programme, Politics Today, on Thursday, Mr Ojukwu said the government’s lethargic disposition towards putting terrorism financiers on trial, demonstrates how some top public officials “compromised” the efforts aimed at bringing the felons to justice. He tagged the unnamed public officials benefitting from the security crises plaguing Nigeria as “disaster merchants who have compromised” the prosecution of suspected Boko Haram sponsors. “We don’t need to hear the names; get them (terrorism financiers) arrested, prosecute them and put them behind bars. Why are you hiding their names?” Mr Ojukwu queried.
