2. ADEKUNLE TOYIN OLAWUNMI

Adekunle Toyin Olawunmi, a retired Navy Commodore made significant revelations regarding terrorism financing in Nigeria during the President Buhari administration. In August 2021, he publicly disclosed on Channels TV that the Nigerian government was aware of the individuals behind the funding of terrorism, particularly in the wake of an attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy. His insights, as a Professor of Global Security Studies, shed light on the troubling reality that high-profile sponsors of terrorism are often entrenched within the corridors of power.

Olawunmi’s candid assertions highlighted the alarming intersection of economic and political interests that have compromised national security efforts. His broadcast shifted public discourse from mere speculation to critical fact-finding, as he utilized his extensive experience as a former Commandant of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Deputy Defence Administration.
