The substance was confirmed through laboratory tests to be a precursor for improvised explosive devices.
The driver of the vehicle was apprehended and is currently in custody. Major General Omoja, the Director of Defence Media Operations, disclosed that the troops have intensified operations targeting terrorist hideouts in forest areas along the border.
On March 1, a significant operation took place in Roguwa Forest, Patigi Local Government Area, Niger State, where clearance operations were ongoing to eliminate remaining fighters.
