Full List of Alleged Terrorism Sponsors in Nigeria Released. The debate around terrorism financing in Nigeria has intensified once again. Because a new investigative report uncovered fresh details, many citizens are demanding answers. Moreover, the findings stretch across several countries and reveal a network that allegedly operated for years without proper scrutiny. Visit our homepage for more security updates.
According to the report, a total of 23 individuals—20 Nigerians and three foreign nationals—allegedly played major roles in moving funds linked to Boko Haram. Since these transactions cut across Kano, Dubai, South Africa, Rwanda, and Niger, the issue has raised serious concerns about global collaboration. Furthermore, some suspects were once arrested yet later released, which has intensified public suspicion.
Below is a rewritten and copyright-safe summary of each identified individual and their alleged roles.
Nigerian Suspects
1. Alhaji Saidu Ahmed
A Zaria-based businessman whose reported financial records include multi-billion-naira inflows. Because several transactions allegedly connect to previously convicted financiers, his activities remain under close security review.
2. Usaini Adamu (Baba Hussaini)
Known in Kano’s business circles, he reportedly controls more than 100 accounts. Moreover, large inflows and outflows linked to logistics chains pushed him into the spotlight.
3. Muhammad Sani Adam
A dealer in forex and precious stones. Investigators say several suspicious inflows match patterns seen in earlier terror-financing cases.
4. Abubakar Adamu Yellow (Yellow Amfani)
His accounts reportedly handled massive transactions across years. Since some transfers align with known financing routes, he remains of high interest to agencies.
5. Murtala Abdullahi Jega
A bureau-de-change operator connected to individuals previously convicted abroad. Moreover, investigators claim that outward transfers linked him to firms already flagged in foreign reports.
6. Sadiq Garba Abubakar
Operating between Abuja and Kano, Sadiq allegedly handled billions. Because many transfers flowed between other suspects, his accounts form a central part of the network.
7. Hussaini Adamu
Reports describe him as a middle-link figure who moved funds between multiple suspects. Consequently, he remains a key person of interest.
8. Mustapha Ibrahim Yakubu
His financial footprint reportedly includes billions in processed transactions. Furthermore, he allegedly sent funds to firms accused of supporting procurement activities.
9. Ali Abdullahi Yusuf
A relative of convicted financiers. Because he allegedly manages dozens of accounts, intelligence agencies continue tracking his financial movements.
10. Nasiru Shuaibu
Operating between Minna and Gusau, Nasiru reportedly handled multi-billion-naira inflows. Moreover, some funds reportedly came from other high-risk individuals.
11. Yusuf Ghazali
He reportedly controls hundreds of accounts. Since several transfers connected to Dubai appeared in foreign court documents, he remains a top-level suspect.
Additional Individuals Linked to the Network
12. Mansur Muhammad Usman
Repeatedly mentioned in foreign terrorism-related judgments. Because he allegedly handled frequent cross-border transfers, his activities continue attracting attention.
13. Yazid Usman Muhammad
Often paired with Mansur in international documents. Investigators describe him as a transfer agent.
14. Alhaji Musa Emma
Based in Maiduguri. His bank activities reportedly show heavy cash withdrawals tied to individuals earlier convicted.
15. Modu Sulum
Although he controls fewer accounts, the pattern of his transactions places him close to major Maiduguri-based players.
16. Adamu Aliyu Kanoma
A jeweller from Zamfara who reportedly withdrew billions. Because cash withdrawals pose serious laundering risks, his dealings remain under scrutiny.
17. Habibu Muhammad Usama
His financial footprint allegedly includes billions in deposits and transfers. Moreover, he reportedly moved funds to several high-risk individuals.
18. Nurudeen Gani Aliyu (Alhaji Nura)
A Sokoto-based bureau-de-change operator. Because of his large transaction volume and international exposure, security agencies continue monitoring him.
19. Ladan Ibrahim
A public servant reportedly linked to large transfers. Investigators say some of the funds went to individuals already under active watch.
20. (Re-Emphasized) Sadiq Garba Abubakar
Since his accounts touch several others in the chain, investigators classify him as one of the network’s strongest links.
International Suspects
1. Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa (Late)
A well-known businessman whose global accounts reportedly processed huge inflows. Moreover, some transfers allegedly connected to offshore structures linked to extremist-financing channels.
2. Paul Nkwaya
Son of the late Ayabatwa. Because he co-managed several accounts with his father, investigators say he may have played a supporting role.
3. Aboubacar Hima (Petit)
A Nigerien figure known for involvement in arms-related dealings. Several foreign-currency transfers tied to him reportedly connected to high-risk individuals. Read related reports.
Conclusion
The leaked list has intensified public concern. Since many Nigerians believe terrorism financing thrives due to weak enforcement, this new investigation has renewed demands for accountability. Moreover, the cross-border nature of these transactions shows that terror networks rely on wide financial structures. For more detailed breakdowns, see our security category.
Because terrorism affects everyone, Nigerians are now calling for swift prosecution, better financial monitoring tools, and stronger global cooperation. As the pressure increases, more updates will likely emerge.
