The Nigerian government has unveiled a list of 15 individuals and companies accused of supporting terrorism, as part of its ongoing efforts to combat extremist groups.
The list includes nine individuals and six businesses suspected of providing financial support, material assistance, or other resources to terrorist groups operating within and beyond Nigeria.
The government compiled the list after conducting a thorough review of financial transactions, logistics, and cross-border activities linked to terrorist operations.
Officials said that months of intelligence work went into tracking suspicious cash flows, communication patterns, and financial networks.
The action forms part of broader government efforts to strengthen financial regulations, monitor high-risk money-changing activities, and support military operations in areas affected by terrorism.
Authorities aim to disrupt the support structures that enable extremist cells to operate by enforcing account restrictions, freezing assets, and monitoring suspicious transactions.
