The Nigerian named in the sanctions is Mukhtar Adamu Muhammad, who was identified by U.S. authorities as an alleged facilitator connected to ISIS West Africa.

Three bureau de change firms in Lagos and Kano were also listed as part of the network.


According to the U.S. government, the targeted network helped move funds across different regions, supporting the activities of the terrorist group.

Officials said the sanctions are aimed at disrupting financial channels used by ISIS and its affiliates.


The United States also reaffirmed its security cooperation with Nigeria and pledged to continue using legal and diplomatic measures against terrorist groups and those accused of supporting them worldwide.
