FG publishes updated list of 48 individuals, groups over terrorism sponsorship allegations (Full List)

The Federal Government has released an updated list of 48 individuals and groups allegedly linked to terrorism financing and sponsorship in Nigeria.

The list was published on Saturday, April 11, 2026, through the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NiGSAC) and uploaded on its official website.

The latest publication comes amid the ongoing mass trial of terrorism suspects by the Federal Government at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The suspects are facing charges bordering on aiding and abetting terrorism, particularly in the North-East.

The trial opened on Tuesday, with hundreds of suspects arraigned before multiple judges under heavy security involving military, police, and intelligence operatives.

Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, said the large-scale prosecution reflects the government’s determination to tackle terrorism through lawful means.

“The federal government is committed to ensuring that due process is followed while bringing those involved in terrorism to justice,” he said.

One of the major cases recorded during the trial was the conviction of Babagana Habeeb, who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for selling petrol to Boko Haram insurgents.

The court heard that Habeeb, a fuel dealer based in Maiduguri, admitted supplying petroleum products to insurgents operating in the North-East, though he claimed some sales may have been handled by attendants at his filling station.

Justice Peter Lifu, who presided over the matter, held that while there was no evidence the convict was a member of the terrorist group, the offence of supplying fuel had been established. He ordered that the 10-year sentence should take effect from the date of arrest.

Individuals and Groups Named on the Updated List

The list includes Tukur Mamu, Abdulsamat Ohida, Mohammed Sani, Abdurrahaman Abdurrahaman, Fatima Ishaq, Yusuf Ghazali, Abubakar Muhammad, Sallamudeen Hassan, Adamu Ishak, Hassana Isah, Abdulkareem Musa, Umar Abdullahi, Bashir Yusuf, Ibrahim Alhassan, Salihu Adamu, Surajo Mohammad, Fannami Bukar, Muhammed Musa, Sahabi Ismail, Mohammed Buba, Adamu Hassan, Hassan Mohammed, Usman Abubakar, Kubara Salawu, Rabiu Suleiman, Simon Njoku, Godstime Iyare, Francis Mmadubuchi, John Onwumere, Chikwuka Eze, Edwin Chukwuedo, Chiwendu Owoh, Ginika Orji, Awo Uchechukwu, Mercy Ali, Ohagwu Juliana, Eze Okpoto, Nwaobi Chimezie, and Ogumu Kewe.

The government’s latest action is seen as part of broader efforts to dismantle financial and logistical networks believed to be fuelling terrorism and insecurity across the country.
