Sunday, July 26, 2026 -Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested a suspected
terrorist spy lurking near the headquarters of 25 Brigade in Damboa Local
Government Area of Borno State.
The suspect was apprehended at about 10:15 p.m. on July 24,
2026 during a routine perimeter patrol conducted by troops of 25 Brigade.
The suspect was spotted hiding behind the first security
barrier at the entrance leading from Damboa town to the Brigade headquarters,
raising suspicion among the patrol team.
A search conducted on the suspect led to the recovery of a
torchlight and a prayer rosary, after which he was taken into custody.
The suspect is currently being held at the 25 Medical
Inspection Room (MIR), where he is undergoing preliminary interrogation as part
of efforts to establish his identity, motives and any possible links to
terrorist elements operating in the area.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the arrest
underscores the continued vigilance of troops in safeguarding military
installations against espionage and other threats posed by insurgent networks.
Military authorities noted that while the general security
situation across the North-East theatre remains calm, it is still
unpredictable, with troops maintaining a high level of alertness and sustained
operational readiness.
