The Federal Government has provided an updated list that includes 48 individuals and entities purportedly funding terrorism activities across the nation.
This list was released via the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NiGSAC) on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
It can be found on nigsac.gov.ng, which is the official platform of the Nigeria Sanctions Committee.
This announcement occurs amidst a mass trial involving terrorism suspects led by the Federal Government.
These suspects are being charged with offenses related to aiding and abetting terrorism, particularly within the North-East region.
The trial commenced on Tuesday at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where 227 suspects were brought before ten judges.
During the court proceedings on Tuesday, there was an enhanced security presence, with suspects transported in heavily guarded convoys supervised by military, police, and intelligence operatives.
Five of the defendants have already received sentences ranging from seven to twenty years after admitting to charges that include selling livestock and providing food and intelligence to militant factions.
Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi emphasized that the depth of the operation reflects the government’s determination to confront this issue.
“The Federal Government is devoted to ensuring that proper legal procedures are observed while holding those involved in terrorism accountable,” he remarked.
A notable moment in the ongoing trial included the sentencing of Babagana Habeeb, a former senatorial candidate in Borno, who was sentenced to ten years in prison for supplying petrol to Boko Haram terrorists.
Habeeb was found guilty on Friday after he pleaded guilty to a singular charge of aiding and abetting terrorism, a charge brought against him by the Federal Government.
The defendant, who operates a fuel station in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, confessed to delivering petroleum products to insurgents in the North-East but asserted that the actual sales might have been conducted by his attendants at the filling station.
During the court session, Habeeb, who was on his knees in the dock, pleaded for mercy, explaining to the court that he had spent over 10 years in detention without any contact with his family and that he has two wives and six children.
David Kaswe, the attorney representing the Federal Government, contested the plea, arguing that the support offered to insurgents had resulted in the deaths and displacement of numerous civilians.
Kaswe urged the court to impose a 20-year sentence, highlighting that the insurgents relied on the petrol supplies to fuel motorcycles utilized in assaults and escape operations.
Presiding Judge Peter Lifu remarked that there was no evidence indicating that Habeeb was an active member of the terrorist organization or that he had received any weapons training.
He explained that the charge against Habeeb was strictly regarding the sale of fuel to the insurgents.
The judge also acknowledged that the prosecution did not dispute Habeeb’s statement regarding his decade-long detention.
Consequently, Judge Lifu sentenced him to ten years' imprisonment, with the sentence to commence from the date of his arrest.
The court also ordered that the defendant be released upon completing his sentence, with a recommendation for rehabilitation.
