The Nigerian Federal Government has traced at least N83 billion in cryptocurrency and fiat money to fund the recent #EndBadGovernance protests. The funds include $50m of cryptocurrency, $38m blocked in four wallets, and N4bn contributed by various political actors in Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, and Katsina.
The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, presented the information at the inaugural meeting of the Council of State, which President Bola Tinubu convened yesterday at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.
Ribadu disclosed that a European individual has been identified as the mastermind behind the proliferation of foreign flags during the protests. This individual will soon be declared wanted by the Police.
Some local conspirators traced to the capital cities Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano have been arrested.
The Council of State meeting discussed various matters, including the recent #EndBadGovernance protests, national security, the economy, and food security.
