Troops Arrest 18 for Supplying Boko Haram Logistics

The Nigerian Army has arrested 18 individuals suspected of supplying logistics to Boko Haram terrorists in North East Nigeria. These arrests were made during operations aimed at disrupting the support network that sustains insurgent activities in the region.

Preliminary findings indicated that the suspects were intercepted while moving supplies from Gubio toward Gudumbali, with initial confessions suggesting their involvement was driven by economic challenges. The Nigerian Army emphasized the need for community vigilance and cooperation in the fight against terrorism, warning citizens against collaborating with terrorist groups.

They reiterated that such collaboration is a serious offense with grave consequences for national security and public safety. The Army also highlighted the importance of socio-economic support for communities to reduce vulnerability to criminal influences and called for a unified approach to security operations alongside broader development efforts.
