Authorities said the sanctions target financial resources that could support the suspects’ activities.

Any assets within US jurisdiction connected to the individuals are now blocked, and Americans are prohibited from conducting transactions with them.


Both Boko Haram and ISIL are recognised internationally as terrorist organisations due to their violent campaigns across multiple countries.

The sanctions aim to prevent the suspects from using funds or property to aid militant operations.


This step reflects ongoing global cooperation to tackle terrorism financing.

Governments continue to monitor networks suspected of backing extremist causes, seeking to cut off money flows that could sustain attacks.
