Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, on Sunday questioned the Federal Government’s refusal to prosecute suspected terrorists and their financiers, IgbereTV reports
The lawyer was reacting to last Tuesday’s attack on the Kuje correctional centre in Abuja by members of the Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP) which set free hundreds of inmates, including suspected terrorists, detained in the facility.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, had in September last year said the federal government had identified and detained high profile individuals responsible for funding of terrorism in the country.
He, however, defended the delay in the prosecution of the suspects, saying the federal government was determined to take stringent measures to counter insurgency in the country
