The federal government has imputed allegation of part funding the just-concluded hunger protest against some unnamed politicians.
The charge was made by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, at the inaugural meeting of the Council of State convened by President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja on Tuesday.
The NSA in his presentation entitled: ‘The Nationwide Protest As It Affects National Security,’ according to Punchng citing a supposed informed source also said the government altogether discovered that at least N83 billion in cryptocurrency and fiat money were channelled towards the recent nationwide protests.
“In his presentation, the NSA said the government was able to trace $50m to crypto wallets that were made as donations to the protests. They succeeded in blocking four of those wallets containing $38m.
“They also found out that some political actors contributed N4bn to fund the protests,” the publication quoted the nameless source as saying.
The report further revealed that Ribadu claimed that an European masterminded the proliferation of foreign flags during the protests, adding that the person of interest will soon be declared wanted by the Police.
