As e be, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) for US Treasury drop one big report wey reach 3,000 pages, abeg, make we no dey joke. The report, wey come sharp after Congress dey propose sanctions for some Nigerian big men like Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, don show say US dey serious for dis fight against terrorism.
Na people wey dem classify as Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) dem don lock down. We no fit do any business with dem! Dis action no be only for these people, e dey target financial transactions too. The way OFAC sabi work, na to caution people make dem no run into wahala with dem sanctions wey dem dey implement.
One fella wey dey on top di list na Salih Yusuf Adamu. Dem say he born am for Naija on August 23, 1990, and he carry Nigerian passport. Na him dey connect to Boko Haram. In fact, he don suffer conviction already for UAE as him and six other guys try transfer money wey reach $782,000 for Boko Haram.

Another bad guy wey dey for di list na Khaled Al-Barnawi, wey dem call him name twice so e no go fit hide. Dis man dey do shakara since 1976, and na Boko Haram him dey palm off down below. E no dey joke at all!
We get Ibrahim Ali Alhassan too, wey reside for UAE and dey naija too. Dis ones don pen down plenty people and their assets go dey frozen for US area for good. Na so we dey see the long arm of the US reach Naija.
Washington no dey relent on this fight for cyber threats and money wey dem dey use fund terrorism. The sanctions wey dey gidigba mean say no US citizen fit do any business with these individuals again. Na law wey dey govern am strong and tight like leg of fine cow!
Dem don classify Boko Haram as foreign terrorist group since 2013. Di US State Department talk say dem don kill thousands since 2009 for di North and East Naija, and di Lake Chad area.
Dem don mark some countries wey dey support terrorism, and e no dey easy for dem at all.
