Thursday, July 16, 2026 -Troops have arrested a pregnant woman allegedly transporting essential items to Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Borno state.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency
publication, that the suspect identified as 28-year-old Falmata Adamu, was
apprehended on July 13 as troops conducted routine checkpoint operations along
the Mandaragirau–Biu road.
“According
to the sources, the woman was intercepted after troops discovered items
concealed in her civilian clothing during a search. The recovered items
included 17 torchlights and 19 Tiger batteries, which are suspected to have
been destined for a terrorist enclave. The suspect was taken into custody,
while preliminary investigations are ongoing to determine the intended
recipients of the items and possible links to terrorist logistics networks.”
Makama said the arrest was part of Operation Hadin Kai’s
sustained efforts to cut off logistics channels supplying Boko Haram and ISWAP
fighters in the north-east.
He said troops have maintained heightened operational
readiness due to the unpredictable nature of the insurgency.
