Agege Neighbour Shocked as Mosque-Goer Is Sanctioned for Alleged ISIS Financing

Last week, the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control named a Lagos businessman and three currency exchange firms in an alleged ISIS-West Africa funding network. He and six other entities are now under US sanctions for facilitating cross-border money transfers. Neighbours on Abimbola Street in Agege know him only as a devout mosque regular who keeps to himself. Reporters needed satellite imagery and locals’ help to pinpoint his unnumbered duplex amid conflicting house numbers. Efforts to locate his listed Bureau De Change offices in Ikeja Airport Complex and Kano found no record of the sanctioned companies. Nigerian authorities have yet to announce any domestic charges or confirm his detention.
