Details of the Arrest
The successful operation was carried out by personnel of the 29 Task Force Brigade, working in collaboration with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), following credible intelligence reports about the suspect’s alleged activities.
According to military sources, the arrest was made possible through actionable intelligence that pointed to Hassan’s suspected role in providing logistical support to the terrorist group that has plagued the Northeast region for over a decade.
Items Recovered
During the arrest, security operatives recovered the following items from the suspect:
– One mobile phone
– A knife
– Cash sum of N100,000
Investigation Underway
Sources close to the operation revealed that preliminary investigations have commenced to establish the full extent of the suspect’s alleged involvement with the terrorist group and the nature of logistics support he may have been providing.
The arrest highlights the continued efforts by Nigerian security forces and their civilian partners to dismantle the support networks that enable terrorist operations in the region.
Operation Hadin Kai, which replaced Operation Lafiya Dole in 2021, remains committed to restoring peace and stability to communities affected by insurgency in Borno State and the broader Northeast zone.
Further details are expected as investigations continue.
