The decision was made in accordance with UAE cabinet resolution N0. 83 of 2021.
The decision, according to Al Arabiya News, is part of the UAE's objective to disrupt terrorism financing networks and put an end to their activities.
On the list are six Nigerians:
- Abdurrahaman Ado Musa
- Salihu Yusuf Adamu
- Bashir Ali Yusuf

The country's law enforcement agencies have been ordered to take the required action against the persons or businesses, as well as anyone linked with them.
