Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested two suspected terrorist informants during an offensive operation in Akure north LGA of Ondo state.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency
publication, the troops carried out the operation in collaboration with local
vigilantes at about 9:30am on Monday.
Makama quoted security sources as saying that the operation
targeted forested communities around Itagbolu, Iju, Igbogun Iju and Iju
Alagbun.
The publication added that the operation formed part of
ongoing efforts to dismantle criminal networks and enhance security within the
area.
According to Makama, the suspects had been handed over to
the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun, for further
investigation and necessary action.
The development comes days after troops arrested a suspected
Boko Haram/ISWAP spy in Garaha, Hong LGA of Adamawa state.
Makama reported that the suspect, a civilian, was arrested
at about 9:30am on Saturday after allegedly loitering suspiciously around the
perimeter of ‘B Company’.
