Nigeria's Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC) has published a revised list of terrorism financiers, naming 42 individuals and six armed groups including Boko Haram, ISWAP, and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Among the individuals listed is Tukur Mamu, a newspaper publisher who helped negotiate the release of hostages taken in the 2022 Abuja–Kaduna train attack and is already facing terrorism financing charges, which he denies. The designations, issued under the country's 2022 anti-terrorism law, carry immediate consequences including the freezing of assets, as Nigeria intensifies efforts to cut off financial networks sustaining insurgent activity across the country's north and southeast.
