According to him, modern warfare has gone beyond kinetics and exchange of gunfire and to effectively tackle terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria, the military and other security agencies must “choke” the source of funding of terrorists and identify their sponsors.

Bawa, who spoke through the Kaduna Zonal Commander of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Harry Erin, stated that the EFCC is the lead agency in investigating and prosecuting terrorism financing in Nigeria, and this is done through collaboration with the Nigerian military and other relevant security and law enforcement agencies.
