Ex-Operation Safe Haven Commander Flags Huge Domestic, International Funding for Boko Haram

Maj-Gen Anthony Atolagbe (rtd) says Boko Haram is backed by heavy funding from both inside and outside Nigeria. He raised the claim during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time. Atolagbe noted that the armed group may be using imported Starlink equipment for communications. He warned that the threat goes beyond Nigeria’s borders and points to sponsors outside the country. He called for coordinated action by the UN, AU, ECOWAS and other affected nations. Only a united effort, he argued, can deliver a lasting solution to terrorism and banditry.

How do we verify Atolagbe's claim about massive domestic and foreign funding for Boko Haram, and what could the evidence look like?

I'm not convinced there's clear proof Boko Haram can actually import and operate Starlink hardware under such heavy security controls.

Official statements alone shouldn't guide policy. Past claims about insurgent funding have often lacked follow-up investigations or transparent audits.

We need stronger intelligence-sharing between regional security services, plus independent audits of financial flows to track and block insurgent resources effectively.
