Pursuant to the provisions of section 54 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, all financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions are required to: a) immediately, identify and freeze, without prior notice, all funds, assets, and any other economic resources belonging to the designated persons and entities in your possession and report same to the Secretariat of the Nigeria Sanctions Committee; (b) report to the Secretariat of the Nigeria Sanctions Committee, any assets frozen or actions taken in compliance with the designation, including attempted transactions; (c) immediately file a suspicious transactions report to the NFIU for further analysis on the financial activities of such an individual or entity; and (d) report as a suspicious transactions report to the NFIU, all cases of name matching in financial transactions prior to or after receipt of the Nigerian Sanctions List. (d) subsequently prohibit dealings with the designated persons and entities and to continue to check for transactions relating to the designated person or entity and the actions to be taken if funds or other assets or suspect transactions are discovered (e) note that this freezing obligation extends to: (i) all funds or other assets that are owned or controlled by the designated person or entity, and not just those that can be tied to a particular act, plot, or threat of terrorism or terrorism financing; (ii) those funds or other assets that are wholly or jointly owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by designated persons or entities; (iii) the funds or other assets derived or generated from funds or other assets owned or controlled directly or indirectly by designated persons or entities; and (iv) funds or other assets of persons and entities acting on behalf of, or at the direction of designated persons or entities.
