Participants at the recently concluded House of Justice Annual Summit and Golden Ball Banquet, themed; “Security, Justice, and National Orientation,” in Kaduna have called on the government to target the financiers of insecurity in the country.

This was stated in a communique issued after the summit in Kaduna.

The participants also emphasized the need to protect civilian informants assisting security agencies, to completely dismantle terrorists activities in Nigeria.

The communiqué stated that intelligence reports have identified some individuals sponsoring terrorism, yet there has been insufficient effort to cut off the financial lifelines fueling insecurity.

The communique signed by  Barrister Gloria Ballason, Chief Executive Officer of the House of Justice, and Luka Ashafa Odita, a criminology and security studies lecturer at Kaduna State University, highlighted the importance of collaboration between Nigeria and neighboring countries to address insecurity.
