In a significant breakthrough against insurgency, troops of 29 Brigade under Operation HADIN KAI, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have arrested a suspected Boko Haram recruiter in Benesheikh, Borno State.
Security sources revealed that the suspect was apprehended on March 24 following credible intelligence provided by a local informant, which linked him to the clandestine recruitment of individuals into terrorist ranks.
The operation, described as swift and coordinated, saw troops and CJTF operatives move decisively to track and arrest the suspect without incident, underscoring the growing synergy between security forces and community-based vigilante groups in the fight against insurgency.
According to authorities, the suspect is currently in custody and undergoing preliminary interrogation, as investigators work to unravel a possible network of collaborators and recruitment channels.
Military sources emphasized that the arrest marks another step forward in ongoing efforts to dismantle the operational structure of Boko Haram and curb the spread of extremist influence in the North-East.
They further assured that operations will continue unabated, with heightened surveillance and intelligence-driven actions aimed at rooting out remaining insurgent elements and their sympathisers.
The latest development reinforces renewed confidence in the counter-insurgency campaign, as security forces tighten the noose on those fueling terrorism in the region.
