It seems that Nigeria's security forces and other anti-corruption agencies are serious with President Muhammadu Buhari's standing order to fish out sponsors of insurgency throughout the country.
Just one day after the president departed to the United Kingdom (UK) for his routine medical check-up, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has made an important catch.
According to a presidential media aide, Lauretta Onichie, the NDLEA on Thursday, April 1, announced that it arrested a hard drug provider for Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria.
The name of the 35-year-old suspect, who happens to be a Chadian national is Adama Uomar who procures narcotics for the insurgents in Taraba.

"He was caught in possession of assorted hard drugs."
Earlier, the federal government had said that security agents had arrested some Nigerians funding Boko Haram terrorists.
The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, made this known on Tuesday, March 30.
