The United States designates a Nigerian national and additional individuals and entities across Europe, the Middle East and West Africa as alleged financiers of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Multiple Nigerian outlets report that the designations are based on accusations that the listed parties act as financial facilitators for ISIS, including enabling or moving funds used for terrorist operations. One report says the action includes the Nigerian national plus three companies operating in Nigeria. Another outlet reports that the designation package covers three individuals and six entities in total. The designations are described as part of the US government’s broader effort to disrupt an ISIS-linked financial network. The announcements are attributed to a US official statement in one report, and outlets also publish or reference released identities and targeted entities as part of the latest round of sanctions or counterterrorism designations. The coverage aligns on the core point that the US is naming a Nigerian figure and associated companies, while also naming others outside Nigeria, for allegedly facilitating ISIS financial activity.
