Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have arrested two suspected logistics and drug suppliers allegedly working for Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State.

According to a military report, the arrests were made during a series of stop-and-search and counter-terrorism operations conducted along the Gamboru–Wulgo road under Operation Desert Sanity IV.

On October 2, troops of the 24 Task Force Brigade, in collaboration with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and local hunters, apprehended Abba Wakil (18), who was found with two jerricans of condemned engine oil and 100 pieces of quick patch.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, an indigene of Wulgo Village, was attempting to deliver the materials to terrorist elements operating in the area.

In a separate operation, another suspect identified as Bunu Ali (18) was arrested with 110 wraps of Cannabis Sativa, which he allegedly intended to supply to the insurgents.

Both suspects are currently in military custody, undergoing further investigation.

The Nigerian Army reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying operations aimed at cutting off supply chains and weakening the logistics support networks sustaining terrorist activities in the North-East region.
