A legal practitioner, Ashimizo Afadameh has called on President Goodluck Jonathan, to fish out the sponsors of terrorism in the country, adding that they are people who walk the corridors of power and authority.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr Afafdameh said sponsors of terrorism are well connected, have access to power, and have access to funds.”
He said, “there must be a genuine commitment on the part of government to fish out sposors of terrorism no matter who they are and without fear or favour.”
“Make them pay the ultimate price,” he said.
Although it is said that the rich in the different societies of the world are not usually punished for their crimes, the criminal justice system in the country “is quite complex, ” he said.
He added that “everywhere around the world the rich always have more access to resources, in terms of criminal litigation; the more money you have, the easier it is for you to get off the hook,” but in Nigeria, “it’s a whole more complex because the laws are old”.
He said it’s high time these laws are revised in such a way that they are in tune with recent realities.
