The Ministry of Defence has raised the alarm over the evolving nature of terrorism financing, warning that criminal groups are increasingly leveraging international banking systems and the dark web to fund their operations.
Major General John Nkoimo, speaking on behalf of Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya, issued the caution during the launch of a specialised training programme on countering terrorism financing and money laundering on Monday.
He emphasised the urgent need for a coordinated, multi-agency approach, stressing that legal expertise and enhanced interagency collaboration are critical in addressing the complex threat. "We must be cognisant that today's threats continue to evolve rapidly.
Terror organisations are becoming more sophisticated in their financial dealings, exploiting weak international banking systems," said Nkoimo.
