Sunday, June 28, 2026 - Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have intercepted a tricycle and a consignment of solar generators and panels suspected to be destined for terrorist elements during a stop-and-search operation along the Potiskum–Maiduguri highway.
Intelligence sources told security analyst Zagazola Makama
that the interception was made at about 8:00 p.m. on June 26, 2026 by troops of
the 233 Tank Battalion deployed at a checkpoint along the route.
According to the sources, troops first intercepted a truck
bearing registration number KTG 647 ZZ conveying a tricycle without valid
ownership or transportation documents.
Further search operations along the route led to the
interception of a Volkswagen Sharan with registration number KRD 74 XL, loaded
with 16 solar panels and 16 solar generators, also without valid documentation.
The suspects were identified as Abdullahi Nasiru, 39, from
Azare Local Government Area of Bauchi State; Anas Danliti, 35, also from Azare,
Bauchi State; and Kabiru Yakubu, 55, from Hardokwala Local Government Area of
Taraba State.
The suspects and the recovered items are currently in the
custody of the 233 Tank Battalion for further investigation to determine the
ownership, destination and intended use of the equipment.
Military sources said the operation forms part of sustained
efforts by Operation Hadin Kai to disrupt terrorist logistics networks and
prevent the movement of equipment that could support insurgent activities in
the North-East.
The sources added that troops have continued to intensify
stop-and-search operations along major supply routes as part of ongoing
measures to deny terrorist groups access to critical logistics.
