Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have intercepted a pregnant woman allegedly conveying logistics suspected to be meant for Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Borno State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the suspect, identified as Mrs. Falmata Adamu, 28, was apprehended at about 11:00 a.m. on July 13 by troops of the 162 Amphibious Battalion while conducting checkpoint duties along the Mandaragirau–Biu Road.
According to the sources, the woman was intercepted after troops discovered items concealed in her civilian clothing during a search. The recovered items included 17 torch lights and 19 Tiger batteries, which are suspected to have been destined for a terrorist enclave.
The suspect was taken into custody, while preliminary investigations are ongoing to determine the intended recipients of the items and possible links to terrorist logistics networks.
Military sources said the interception forms part of ongoing efforts by Operation HADIN KAI to disrupt the supply chains sustaining Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists operating in the North-East.
The sources added that the general security situation across the theatre remains calm but unpredictable, with troops maintaining a high level of operational readiness.
