The Federal Government of Nigeria has released the identities of 48 individuals and organisations allegedly linked to terrorism financing, intensifying its ongoing efforts to dismantle financial networks supporting extremist activities.
The list, published by the Nigeria Sanctions Committee, includes a mix of individuals and proscribed groups suspected of providing financial or logistical support to terrorist operations within and beyond Nigeria.
Among those named are: Abdulsamat Ohida; Mohammed Sani; Abdurrahman Abdurrahman; Fatima Ishaq; Tukur Mamu; Yusuf Ghazali; Muhammad Sani; Abubakar Muhammad; Sallamudeen Hassan; Adamu Ishak; Hassana Isah Musa; AbdulKareem Umar; Abdullahi; Abdurrahman Ado; Bashir Yusuf Alhassan; Ibrahim; Muhammad Isah; Salihu Adamu; Surajo Mohammad Fannami Bukar; Musa; Muhammed Sahabi Ismail; Mohammed Buba.
Also listed are several groups, including Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan (Ansaru), Islamic State West Africa Province, and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), alongside other entities identified as “Yan Group” and related factions.
Additional individuals named include: Adamu Hassan; Hassan Mohammed; Usman Abubakar; Kubara Salawu; Rabiu Suleiman; Simon Njoku; Godstime Iyare; Francis Mmadubuchi John; Onwumere Chukwuka; Eze Edwin; Chukwuedo; Chiwendu Owoh; Ginika Orji; Awo Uchechukwu Mercy; Ali; Ohagwu Juliana Okpoto; Eze Nwaobi Chimezie; and Ogumu Kewe.
Authorities say the publication is part of a broader strategy to identify and disrupt funding channels linked to terrorism, enabling financial institutions and security agencies to freeze assets, monitor suspicious transactions, and prevent further financing of violent activities.
The government подчеркed that inclusion on the list does not replace judicial processes, noting that investigations are ongoing and affected persons or entities may be subject to further legal action in line with due process.
Security experts view the move as a significant step in Nigeria’s counter-terrorism efforts, particularly in targeting the financial backbone of insurgency and organised violent groups.
More details are expected as the Nigeria Sanctions Committee continues its investigation and enforcement actions. Starnews
