Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: NIGERIA: NIGERIA CONTINUES TO COOPERATE IN EFFORT
TO IDENTIFY TERRORISTS' ACCOUNTS
REF: STATE 207526
1. EconOff delivered reftel information December 5 to Ernest
Ebi, Deputy Governor for International Operations at the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Ebi agreed to release the
list of three (3) entities in a new Call Circular, which will
require all Nigerian banks to identify accounts associated
with these terrorist entities.
2. On November 28, the Central Bank issued a circular
directing all banks to improve customer identification
procedures in order to combat financial frauds ("419s" in
local parlance) and money-laundering. The directive
prohibits banks from keeping anonymous accounts and requires
banks to obtain information on the identity of the persons on
whose behalf an account is opened or transaction conducted.
These measures, according to Ebi, also will assist the CBN's
ongoing efforts to identify terrorists' financial assets.
