Some Moroccan and Togolese, numbering three, have been unveiled by the Nigerian Security Agencies as part of forces behind crimes against humanity such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, among other crimes.
Troops of Operation HADIN KAI arrested a suspected foreign terrorist (Moroccan name withheld) believed to have links with the Islamic State (ISIS) following the successful repulsion of an attempted attack by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters on Cross Kauwa in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The arrest, described by security sources as a major intelligence breakthrough, came after sustained exploitation operations launched by the military in the aftermath of the failed terrorist assault.
In Kwara State, the Nigeria Police Force foiled a planned kidnapping and extortion attempt, arresting two foreign nationals (Togolese) allegedly involved in the criminal plot.
The Nigerian Police said the operation was carried out in line with the strategic policing vision of Olatunji Rilwan Disu, the Inspector-General of Police.
