Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a suspected high-profile terrorist operative linked to notorious terrorist leader Dogo Gide, alongside 60 suspected collaborators, in a series of intelligence-led operations conducted across several states.
The operations, carried out between August 12 and 13, 2026, also resulted in the recovery of weapons, military camouflage uniforms, motorcycles, improvised weapons and other items suspected to have been used in support of terrorist activities.
The arrests came as the military intensified operations against terrorist groups and armed criminal elements in the North-West and other parts of the country.
In Kaduna State, troops of the 4 Demonstration Battalion arrested a suspected operative of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) at Kadage Check Point.
The suspect was allegedly transporting seven pairs of sewn foreign camouflage uniforms to a terrorist camp when he was intercepted by the troops.
