NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Federal Government has released a list of 15 individuals and companies accused of financing terrorism in Nigeria, as part of intensified efforts to combat extremist groups.
The compilation followed months of investigations by multiple security agencies, tracking suspicious financial transactions, logistics, and cross-border activities linked to terrorist operations.
The nine individuals named are: Tukur Mamu, Yusuf Ghazali, Muhammad Sani, Abubakar Muhammad, Sallamudeen Hassan, Adamu Ishak, Hassana-Oyiza Isah, Abdulkareem Musa, and Umar Abdullahi.
Six businesses were also flagged, mostly Bureau De Change operators and trading firms, including West & East Africa General Trading Company Limited, Settings Bureau De Change Ltd, G. Side General Enterprises, Desert Exchange Ventures Ltd, Eagle Square General Trading Company Limited, and Alfa Exchange BDC.
Officials explained that intelligence work focused on monitoring cash flows, communications, and financial networks that sustain extremist activities. The aim is to disrupt the support structures enabling terrorist cells to operate.
The government emphasized that further names could be added in future phases, and enforcement measures including account restrictions and asset freezes will be implemented where necessary.
Authorities also highlighted increased supervision of Bureau De Change operations nationwide, addressing concerns that unregulated currency trading can be exploited for illicit financing.
This move represents a broader strategy to close financial channels that enable terrorism and strengthen Nigeria’s national security framework.
