The Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC), has released an updated list of terrorism financiers.

The list, published on the committee’s website, includes 48 individuals and armed groups operating across Nigeria.

Among those listed were Tukur Mamu, the publisher of Desert Herald, who took the lead in negotiating the release of hostages kidnapped during the 2022 Abuja–Kaduna train attack. Mr Mamu is already being prosecuted for terrorism financing but has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

Groups like Boko Haram (also known as Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad), its breakaway faction, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) were also listed as terrorism financiers.
