Updated list of 48 Nigerians sanctioned as terrorism financiers

Legit.ng earlier reported that the federal government has published an updated list of Nigerians designated as terrorism financiers in 2026. This move is part of ongoing efforts to combat terrorism financing and strengthen national security.

Nigeria, being a member of the United Nations and in pursuit of its commitment to international peace and security as enunciated under the Charter of the United Nations, has enacted the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 which established the Nigeria Sanctions Committee as the national body responsible for the implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) on Targeted Financial Sanctions.

Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS) issued by the United Nations Security Council are designed to deny any individuals or entities associated with terrorism, terrorism financing and financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) access to assets, funds, equipment or support.
