Troops Seize Ammunition from Terrorist Courier in Kogi

On March 29, 2026, troops from the Nigerian Army's 12 Brigade intensified operations against terrorist elements in Kogi State, successfully intercepting a suspected logistics courier. The operation took place along the Jamata-Owara road in the Lokoja Local Government Area, where the troops conducted a search of the courier's motorcycle.

They discovered a specially modified compartment used to conceal ammunition. Preliminary investigations linked the suspect to known terrorist elements.

The operation was part of a sustained effort over a three-month period aimed at dismantling terrorist supply networks within the brigade's area of responsibility. Additionally, the troops had previously apprehended a high-profile ammunition courier identified as Mathew Elisha, who is on the Nasara security watch list.

This operation highlights the ongoing commitment of the Nigerian Army to combat terrorism and enhance security in the region.
