Descriptions

NLISWi.21 - USMAN ABUBAKAR DOB: 01-01-1998 ID: NIL Address: NIL Phone: 09119267708, 09027827156 Reason for designation: Usman Abubakar plays a key role in financing and facilitating operations for ISWAP in Lake Chad, Timbuktu, and Tumbumma. He is responsible for collecting Zakkat from traders, herders, and fishermen in ISWAP-controlled areas, raising millions annually to support the group's activities. Abubakar manages and disburses these funds under the direction of Ka'id Ukasha, ISWAP's "Accountant General," ensuring they are distributed to leaders and commanders based on operational needs. His involvement in ISWAP's financial network, including ties to other affiliates, highlights his crucial role in sustaining the group's logistics and militant operations. The investigation seeks to dismantle this network and disrupt ISWAP's resource flow.
