The United Arab Emirates on Monday designated six Nigerians as financiers of Boko Haram and other criminal activities.
Among the list is the M.D 9Mobile Absulrahaman Ado Musa
The decision was made when the Emirate federal cabinet met in the capital Abu Dhabi on Monday, according to state-run WAM news agency.
The list include: Abdurrahaman Ado Musa,
Salihu Yusuf Adamu,
Bashir Ali Yusuf,
Muhammed Ibrahim Isa,
Ibrahim Ali Alhassan and
Surajo Abubakar Muhhamed
The decision came about a year after the Nigerians were indicted for sponsoring Boko Haram. A Nigerian government official said to be involved 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
