Monday, July 20, 2026 - Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested two brothers suspected to be logistics suppliers to ISWAP terrorists.
They were arrested during a farm protection patrol in Damboa
Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was made known in a post on X by Zagazola Makama, a
counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region.
Makama revealed that the suspects, identified as Audu
Abdullahi, 25, and Shettima Abdullahi, 30, both natives of Kasabalari village
in Damboa LGA, were intercepted at about 10:30 a.m. on July 19 in the
Nzuda general area by troops of 19 Battalion (Mechanised) and 25 Task Force
Brigade Garrison.
According to him, preliminary investigation revealed that
the two suspects, who are biological brothers, were transporting supplies
intended for suspected ISWAP fighters operating in the Wajiroko general
area.
The security expert noted that items recovered from the
suspects included two bicycles, one mobile phone with two SIM cards, an
identity card, two bicycle tyres and tubes, six containers of Force Up
pesticide, painkiller medication, a small solar panel, a rechargeable
torchlight with battery, two locally made knives and other assorted
items.
He added that the suspects and the recovered exhibits are
currently in military custody for further investigation.
“The arrest forms part of ongoing farm protection operations
and sustained efforts to disrupt terrorist logistics networks supporting
insurgent activities in the North-East.
“The security situation across the theatre remains
relatively calm but unpredictable, while troops continue to maintain a high
level of operational readiness and pressure on terrorist elements,” he stated.
