Under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, the federal government has identified 15 individuals, including six Bureau De Change operators, suspected of financing terrorism. This revelation came via an email reportedly received by The Punch, indicating that these individuals were involved in either sending or receiving money on behalf of terrorists. Among those named is Tukur Mamu, who is currently undergoing trial for allegedly aiding terrorists in the March 2022 attacks on the Abuja-Kaduna train route. Additionally, the Nigeria Sanctions Committee recommended sanctions against specific individuals and entities believed to be involved in terrorism financing. One individual mentioned is suspected of being involved in the attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state, and the Kuje Correctional Center in Abuja. Another individual is linked to the Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladissudam terrorist group, associated with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. President Tinubu recently met with service chiefs and government officials during the Ramadan fasting period amid controversies surrounding the killing of approximately 17 soldiers in Delta state.
