Troops of Sector 1, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have intercepted six suspected terrorist logistics suppliers, while troops of Sector 4 apprehended a suspected foreign terrorist fighter and an alleged illegal immigrant during separate intelligence-led operations in Borno State.
Acting Military Information Officer of Joint Task Force North East, Operation Hadin Kai, Captain Mohammed Goni, said the first operation targeted a suspected terrorist supply route, where troops mounted a covert stop-and-search operation that led to the arrest of six suspects travelling in five vehicles with a large consignment of materials believed to be destined for terrorist elements.
Recovered items included 202 cartons of herbicides, one Jerry can containing suspected acid, a Starlink wireless internet communication system, six bags of NPK fertiliser, 10 bags of rice, 50 hoes and 20 packs of knapsack sprayer pumps.
