UAE Names Six Nigerian Sponsors Of Terrorism
The United Arab Emirates federal cabinet met in the capital, Abu Dhabi, last Monday, according to state-run WAM news agency, and released the names of individuals and entities of Global Sponsors of Terrorism.
In the list, the UAE designated six Nigerians as financiers of Boko Haram and other criminal activities.
The six Nigerians are, Abdurrahaman Ado Musa; Salihu Yusuf Adamu; Bashir Ali Yusuf; Muhammed Ibrahim Isa; Ibrahim Ali Alhassan; Surajo Abubakar Muhammad.
The country also place the six Nigerians on the Middle-East giant’s watch list.
The decision came about a year after the Nigerians were indicted for sponsoring Boko Haram.
A Nigerian government official is said to be involved (who was not named ) in sponsoring the dreaded sect that has killed over 100,000 civilians and security forces and inflicted untold economic damage on the country since its campaign began in 2009.
The government official has yet to be publicly identified by the Emirati authorities, amidst claims that some elements in the Nigerian government were mounting diplomatic pressure not to publish the name.
