Troops of the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have apprehended a suspected logistics supplier for terrorist groups in Yobe State. The arrest took place at approximately 5:20 p.m. on April 26, 2026, at the Bukarti bridge checkpoint in Yunusari Local Government Area.
The suspect, who identified himself as a native of Platari village in Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State, was intercepted while transporting suspected logistics materials in a pickup vehicle. He was allegedly conveying 800 pieces of 2x2 timber and 169 pieces of fibre, reportedly destined for Kaulaha village in the Niger Republic, a location believed to be a known hub for terrorist activities.
Items recovered from the suspect include one mobile phone, one set of prayer beads, and the sum of N52,000. The suspect is currently in military custody, while investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of his involvement and possible links with terrorist networks. The recovered items and vehicle are also being held for further action.
