Bashir Ali Yusuf
Bashir Ali Yusuf is identified by the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) as part of the UAE-convicted Boko Haram fundraising network — a group of Nigerian nationals convicted by the United Arab Emirates Federal Court of Appeals in 2021 for collecting and transferring funds from Dubai to Boko Haram in Nigeria. NIGSAC subsequently added Bashir Ali Yusuf to Nigeria's consolidated sanctions list. The designation is a fact of the official sanctions process; this archive does not infer Nigerian political sponsorship or domestic court adjudication from a foreign-jurisdiction conviction plus sanctions designation, except as explicitly recorded in cited sources.
