The house of representatives has asked the federal government to reveal the financiers of terrorism and banditry in Nigeria.

The lower legislative chamber passed the resolution during Wednesday’s plenary after adopting a report of its security debate which took place last week.

Communities across the country have come under renewed gunmen attacks, with rising cases of abductions of schoolchildren.

“That financiers of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping be publicly named, sanctioned and prosecuted,” the report reads.

“That terrorism-related prosecutions be open, expeditious and transparent.”

The lawmakers asked the federal government to establish a special court for terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.
