The statement said in part, “We are forced to react to attempts to introduce politics, illegal pressure on and inordinate requests for information from the NFIU.

According to NFIU, the laws and standards permit them to share information with Law enforcement, Regulatory, Defence and Security and corresponding agencies in over 170 countries who are also co-owners and co-controllers of Intelligence and compliance processes at all FIUs.

“Additionally and categorically, we do not release information for administrative, civil and business reasons or requests,” the statement said.

The statement further explained that NFIU is also an agency created at the heart of global best practice to support crime analysis and Intelligence building locally and internationally.

“We had to appropriately enlighten all calibre of officers in this category to know that Intelligence Institutions of government are generally apolitcal, operating within fixed and tailored mandate.

The office said they will always respond to any attempt or an inkling of it to bring or introduce or incline local and international politics to our operations.

While stating that FIUs are also consistently reviewed mutually, “So even for our staff there are repeated warnings. Influence peddling or mediocrity can substitute professional conduct or personal character. Any Officer, whose conducts do not meet FIU best practices will always be responded to within the law.”
