Nigerian Govt Identifies 15 Financiers Of Terrorism And Mulls Sanctions

The Nigerian Federal Government has identified 15 entities suspected to be involved in financing terrorism. These entities include nine individuals and six Bureau De Change operators and firms. 


The information was released by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) in a report titled: “Identification of Persons and Organizations as of March 18, 2024”.

The Nigeria Sanctions Committee convened on March 18, 2024, during which certain individuals and entities were identified for sanction due to their ties to terrorism financing. The document mentioned that one of the persons is Tukur Mamu, a publisher from Kaduna, who is presently undergoing trial by the Federal Government on suspicion of supporting the terrorists involved in the March 2022 attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train.

The document alleged that Mamu “participated in the financing of terrorism by receiving and delivering ransom payments over the sum of $200,000 US in support of ISWAP terrorists for the release of hostages of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack”1. Other individuals were also identified, including a suspected attacker of the St. Francis Catholic Church Owo, Ondo State on June 5, 2022, and the Kuje Correctional Center, Abuja on July 5, 2022.

The NFIU said one of the individuals “specialises in designing terrorist clandestine communication code and he is also an Improvised Explosive Device expert1. Another was identified as “a senior commander of the Islamic State of West Africa Province Okene1. Another was described as “a financial courier to ISWAP Okene. She is responsible for the disbursement of funds to the widows/wives of the terrorist fighters of the group.
This development is a significant step in the fight against terrorism and it is expected that appropriate sanctions will be applied to these identified entities.

    1. My dear our politicians and religious leaders have so divided us due to their selfish interest that it will take God to unit us. It's unfortunate but the simple truth.

  9. After a while, they will be set free or given a lighter prison sentence.

    The leader of massob is South Africa prison withering away on some thump up terrorism accusations mainly from Nigeria's government.

    Anything concerning the northerners about terrorism always receive a slap on the wrist judgement.
