Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have recorded another breakthrough in the fight against terrorism, arresting two suspected logistics and drug suppliers to Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to military sources, the suspects were apprehended during a series of stop-and-search and counter-terrorism operations conducted along the Gamboru–Wulgo road as part of Operation Desert Sanity IV.
On October 2, troops of the 24 Task Force Brigade, working in collaboration with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and local hunters, intercepted 18-year-old Abba Wakil, an indigene of Wulgo Village, with two jerricans of condemned engine oil and 100 pieces of quick patch.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect was attempting to deliver the items to terrorists in the area,” the source disclosed.
In a related operation, the troops also arrested another suspect, 18-year-old Bunu Ali, who was caught with 110 quantities of Cannabis Sativa while attempting to supply the illicit substances to insurgents.
Both suspects, according to the source, are currently in military custody for further investigation as security forces intensify efforts to disrupt terrorist supply chains in the region.
