This work analysis Nigeria’s effort to counter terrorism and criminal financing (TCF). It shows that criminal and terrorist organizations in fund their operations through an illegal financial infrastructure embedded in the Nigerian financial sector. To counter and deny access to funds that could be used to destabilize the state and compromise the integrity of financial institutions in the country to these malign non-state actors, Nigeria has deployed several strategies. By using qualitative research methodology, and a historical, descriptive, and narrative approach, it was discovered that Nigeria has used both government institutions, such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and legal-cum financial instruments, such as the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act (TPAA) and the Anti Money Laundering/Combating Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT), to disrupt TCF in the country. In its conclusion, the work argues that Nigeria will have to be strategic in its response if it hopes to effectively counter TCF. This strategic response, this work show, will involve the extensive use of technical and financial expertise from international anti-money laundering bodies like the EGMONT Group and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Este trabajo analiza los esfuerzos de Nigeria para contrarrestar la financiación del terrorismo y la criminalidad. Muestra que las organizaciones criminales y terroristas en el país costean sus operaciones a través de una infraestructura financiera ilegal incrustada en el sector financiero del país. Para contrarrestar y negar el acceso a estos actores no estatales malignos a fondos que podrían usarse para desestabilizar el estado y comprometer la integridad de las instituciones financieras, Nigeria ha implementado varias estrategias. Al utilizar una metodología de investigación cualitativa y un enfoque histórico, descriptivo y narrativo, se descubrió que Nigeria ha utilizado instituciones gubernamentales, como la Comisión de Delitos Económicos y Financieros (EFCC) y la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera de Nigeria (NFIU), e instrumentos financiero-legales, como la Ley (de Prevención) (Enmienda) del Terrorismo (TPAA) y la Ley contra el Lavado de Dinero/Lucha contra el Financiamiento del Terrorismo (AML/CFT), para interrumpir el flujo de financiación al terrorismo y la criminalidad en el país. En su conclusión, el trabajo argumenta que Nigeria tendrá que ser estratégica en su respuesta si espera contrarrestar efectivamente la financiación del terrorismo y la criminalidad. Esta respuesta estratégica, según evidencia la investigación, implicará el uso extensivo de la experiencia técnica y financiera de organismos internacionales contra el lavado de dinero como el Grupo EGMONT y el Grupo de Acción Financiera Internacional (GAFI).
