ABUJA, NIGERIA – Nigerian troops have arrested several suspected terrorist logistics suppliers and illegal miners in coordinated operations across the North-Central and North-West regions, the Defence Headquarters has announced.
In a statement issued on Friday, military authorities disclosed that the operations targeted networks providing fuel, food, and other supplies to terrorist groups operating in forests and remote areas. Troops also raided illegal mining sites believed to be funding criminal activities.
Weapons, ammunition, and communication devices were recovered during the operations. The suspects are currently undergoing interrogation, according to military sources.
“These arrests will significantly disrupt the supply chain of terrorist elements. We remain committed to eradicating all forms of criminality,” a military spokesperson said.
