Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested a
suspected logistics supplier to Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists during an
intelligence-led operation in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State.
The operation was carried out at about 3:00 p.m. on
July 15, 2026, by troops of the 149 Battalion in collaboration with members of
the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), following credible intelligence.
The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Ali Umar, was
intercepted while allegedly transporting logistics intended for terrorists
operating along the Binduldul–Kareto axis.
During the operation, security operatives recovered a
Volkswagen Golf car with registration number BO KGG 268AA and a Tecno
mobile phone from the suspect.
According to military sources, the suspect allegedly
admitted during preliminary interrogation that he had been supplying Premium
Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, to Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters
operating in the area.
Ali Umar is currently in the custody of the 149
Battalion, where further investigations are ongoing.
The arrest forms part of Operation HADIN KAI's
sustained efforts to dismantle terrorist logistics networks and cut off supply
chains that support insurgent activities across Nigeria's North-East region.
