Major General Dr Timothy Tifucro Ba-Taa-Banah, Director of the National Counter Terrorism Fusion Centre, has warned that terrorist financing is the "oxygen" that sustains violent extremism, with organized crime networks increasingly using sophisticated cyber tools to channel funds to terrorist groups. Speaking at the launch of the National Community Media Cyber Capability Building Project, he stressed that disrupting terrorist financing would significantly weaken extremist organizations, as they require substantial resources for equipment, operations, and recruitment.
The Director emphasized the need for a coordinated national response involving security agencies, government institutions, the media, and the public to address this evolving threat.
