Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) in Mafa LGA of Borno state have arrested six suspected logistics suppliers for deadly terrorist group, Boko Haram.

The troops encountered these suspects during a routine search, as reported by a counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama.

He noted in a publication on Saturday that the suspects were found in possession of a truck loaded with Arabic gum valued at N2 million.

The publication has identified the suspects as Usman Gujja, Abu Hamman Dawud, Ramat Ibrahim, Hala Hadum, Alhaji Kawu, and Bulama Ali Boscoro.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that these suppliers receive items from the terrorists, sell them, and then return the profits to the terrorists.

The suspects have been handed over to the military intelligence unit for further investigation.

This development follows the recent arrest of a suspected Boko Haram terrorist in the Askira Uba community of Borno state.
