The Nigeria Sanctions Committee has released an updated list of individuals and organisations designated as terrorism financiers in Nigeria.
According to the committee, the list published on its official website contains a total of 48 names, including both individuals and armed groups operating across the country.
Among those listed is Tukur Mamu, a media publisher who previously acted as a negotiator during the 2022 Abuja–Kaduna train attack. Mamu is currently facing prosecution over alleged terrorism financing, although he has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Also included in the designation are well-known armed groups such as Boko Haram, also referred to as Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, its splinter faction Islamic State West Africa Province, and the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The updated list forms part of ongoing efforts by Nigerian authorities to curb terrorism financing and strengthen national security through financial surveillance and enforcement measures.
While only a few prominent names have been highlighted in initial reports, the committee confirmed that the full list of designated individuals and groups is available on its official website.
