A Nigerian High Court has granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) the authority to freeze 24 bank accounts suspected of being linked to terrorism financing. The court order follows an EFCC request to investigate the accounts, which are believed to be involved in activities supporting terrorism.
The move is part of the Nigerian government’s broader efforts to disrupt financial networks that may be facilitating terrorism. While the identities of the individuals or entities associated with the accounts have not been revealed, the action highlights the EFCC’s ongoing commitment to tackling illegal financial activities related to terrorism.
This development marks a significant step in the country’s intensified focus on combating terrorism financing.
