CEDAW earlier reported that many survivors continue to suffer from trauma and social stigma, with limited access to proper support services.

The Chibok abduction, which took place in April 2014, marked the first mass kidnapping of schoolchildren in Nigeria. Though Boko Haram had previously targeted students, the scale of this attack shocked the nation and drew global condemnation.

US once listed 6 people funding terrorists in Nigeria

Legit.ng earlier reported that In a flashback to March 2022, the United States government formally sanctioned six Nigerian nationals found guilty of financing Boko Haram while residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The decision has been revisited amid President Donald Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, highlighting longstanding concerns over terrorism and extremist funding networks.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced the designation of the individuals under Executive Order 13224, which targets terrorists and those who support acts of terrorism.
