Troops Arrest Suspected Terrorist Informant, Recover Motorcycle, Cash in Kebbi

Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a suspected terrorist informant and logistics supplier during a routine patrol in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the suspect was apprehended at about 12:14 p.m. on Saturday in Kangiwa while troops of the 8 Division were conducting a patrol along the Falde–Gedere Road.

According to the sources, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect allegedly provided intelligence and logistical support to terrorist groups operating in the area.

Items recovered from the suspect include a motorcycle, a mobile phone, and N69,000 in cash, which investigators believe may be linked to his alleged activities.

The suspect has since been taken into military custody for further investigation and possible prosecution.

Security sources said the arrest is part of ongoing operations aimed at dismantling terrorist support networks and disrupting the movement, logistics, and activities of criminal elements across parts of Nigeria’s North-West.
