Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested two individuals suspected of acting as informants for Boko Haram/ISWAP in the Damboa LGA of Borno state.
Speaking with Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency
publication focused on the Lake Chad region, a military source said the
suspects — Musa Alhaji Isah, 28, and Akona Alhaji, 30 — were apprehended at
about 5:30am on March 23 by troops during a routine operation.
“The suspects, both natives of Shiwari community in Damboa
LGA, were intercepted following suspicious movements within a location
described as ‘Serial 7 general area,’ an outer deployment zone leading to the
Timbuktu Triangle, a known terrorists’ enclave,” the report reads.
“According to the source, preliminary findings suggest that
the suspects may have been conducting reconnaissance for terrorist elements
operating in the axis.
“Items recovered from them include two bicycles, one mobile
phone, three daggers, a torchlight, a wristwatch, charms, and a cash sum of
N6,900.”
The publication added that the suspects are currently in the
custody of the Military Intelligence Response unit for further investigation.
