The descent into the digital misinformation trap often begins with a single, innocent search. For Pa Okechukwu, a retired school principal in Enugu, it started with a flickering concern over the "cobwebs" appearing in his field of vision.

48@Digital blindspot: How Nigeria’s 'fifth column' shields terror dollars by Remmy Nweke | WeekendDigits@ITREALMS

WeekendDigits@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

General Ali-Keffi’s exposĂ© has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s security architecture, revealing a "Fifth Column" that allegedly protects forty-eight high-level terror financiers. For WeekendDigits@ITREALMS, REMMY NWEKE breaks down the "Digital Blindspot," the space where forensic data exists but judicial action fails; unmasking the systemic rot that allows the lifeblood of insurgency to remain untouched.

Digital blindspot in national security:
The release of 48 high-level terror financier suspects without trial is far more than a mere administrative oversight; it represents a profound "Digital Blindspot" in Nigerian governance and national security architecture. For years, the Nigerian public has been told that the names of those funding the bloodbath in the North-East and North-West are etched into the databases of security agencies. Yet, the transition from forensic intelligence to successful judicial prosecution remains stalled by a complex, opaque web of interests.

'Fifth Column' and internal sabotage:
Retired Major General Danjuma Ali-Keffi’s recent demand for a probe shines a harsh spotlight on what many security experts refer to as the "Fifth Column"; a clandestine group of individuals within the government and security forces who either secretly sympathize with the insurgents' ideology or, more commonly, profit from the chaos they create.
