Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a suspected
terrorist at a forward operating base in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna
State, amid reports of infighting among armed groups in the region.
The suspect was apprehended on April 16, 2026, around
6:45 p.m. at Forward Operating Base Afaka during routine security operations.
Preliminary findings indicate that the individual fled
a camp in Sabon Birni following violent clashes between rival group leaders,
identified as Dogo Gide and Kabiru.
Security sources revealed that the confrontations are
believed to be occurring across the Kachia–Kagarko–Chikun axis, an area that
has experienced persistent security challenges in recent times.
The suspect remains in custody as authorities continue
investigations to verify his claims and gather further intelligence on the
structure and operations of the armed groups.
Officials noted that the internal conflict among the
groups may signal fractures within their network, presenting an opportunity for
security forces to weaken their activities and restore stability in affected
areas.
