Troops Arrest 16 Terrorism Suspects in North-East Nigeria
The Nigerian Army reported that troops from the 3 Battalion Mechanised successfully intercepted supplies meant for terrorists and arrested 16 suspects during a sustained offensive operation across the North-East theatre. The operation took place on Monday, with troops acting on intelligence that led them to the Gamboru Ngala local government area in Borno State, close to the Nigeria-Cameroon border.
During the operation, soldiers foiled a cross-border fuel smuggling attempt, seizing 19 jerrycans of automotive gas oil. The suspects reportedly fled the scene, abandoning the products as the troops raided the suspected smuggling route.
This operation highlights the ongoing military efforts to combat terrorism and related activities in the region.
