The boko haram has been troubling Nigerians of late and subsequent investigation to unravel how they operate and even get funding is proving to be a mistry. But recently it is been discovered that the boko haram has adopted the "Awalla system of money transfer". The Nigerian governmet is not leaving anything to chance as it has adopted every means of investigating this terrorist organisation and its finances is one of them. The Awalla system is a means of moneytary transfer that is widely used in the middle east like Saudi Arabia, the system works like this somebody in saudi arabia that wants to send money to its associates here in Nigeria will only pay the equivalent of the money in Saudi Arabia while the other will receive the equivalent from any other business associate here in Nigeria, meaning there is no form of banking transaction and it is not documented for anybody to trace!.
The Boko Haram has adopted this form of monetary and it is hard to trace it. Even the dreaded Osama Bin Laden used this form of transaction which was hard for the American Government to trace.
But from close sources the Nigerian government knows that there are alot disgruntled politicians who want to cause disharmony and unrest in the administration of Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
No matter the time and place terrorism can be stopped!!
