FG orders banks, others to freeze assets of terrorism financiers
ABUJA — The Federal Government has instructed financial institutions as well as designated non-financial businesses and professions to strictly comply with existing sanctions regulations by identifying and freezing assets linked to individuals and entities involved in terrorist financing.
The directive follows recent sanctions imposed by the United States on a Nigerian alleged to have financed ISIS, alongside three Bureau De Change (BDC) companies operating in Lagos and Kano.
