Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested 12 suspected collaborators and logistics suppliers linked to Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) during an intelligence-led operation in Damasak, Borno.
This is contained in a military operational report on Monday in Abuja.
The army said the operation followed actionable intelligence obtained from the interrogation of an earlier suspect arrested at the Kadauri Cattle Market in Damasak.
It said the suspect allegedly identified meeting points and hideouts used by terrorist collaborators, logistics suppliers and informants operating within the area.
According to the report, troops subsequently conducted coordinated cordon-and-search operations at multiple locations, leading to the arrest of the 12 suspects.
