The Federal Government has rolled out a fresh list naming 48 individuals and 12 companies it believes are tied to terrorism financing in Nigeria, a move seen as part of its steady push to choke off funds flowing to extremist groups.
The names were made public on the website of the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC). Alongside the names, the list also revealed the nationalities of those involved, the roles they allegedly played, and the terror groups they were said to be working with.
NIGSAC itself works under the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), which oversees its duties within Nigeria’s wider security structure.
The committee’s main job includes putting United Nations sanctions into action, especially those aimed at blocking terrorism funding. It also ensures Nigeria meets its global obligations and helps different government bodies—like financial intelligence units, defence authorities, and foreign affairs officials—work together smoothly.
Among those listed are:
