Nigerian Army Nabs 12 Terror Suspects

Nigerian Army Nabs 12 Terror Suspectsa

The Nigerian Army has arrested 12 individuals linked to a breakaway faction of Boko Haram known as Mahmuda. The group allegedly took over the Kainji Lake National Park and used it as a base for terror activities.

These suspects reportedly harassed, exploited, and attacked residents of border communities in Kwara and Niger states. Affected areas include Baruten, Kaiama, and Borgu local government areas.

Major General Obinna Onubogu, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, disclosed the arrests during a visit to army camps in Kaiama and Baruten. He visited to assess troop welfare and monitor progress in the ongoing counterinsurgency operation.

Troops Push Deep Into Forest, Dislodge Bandits

The operation, codenamed Park Strike Four, aims to flush out criminal elements from the national park and surrounding communities.

Troops captured the suspects during raids across several locations. Two of the arrested individuals belong to the Mahmuda group. The rest reportedly supported the group’s operations.

“Our men have combed over 90 kilometers from Kemanji into the Kainji forest,” the GOC said. “We’ve dislodged the insurgents and cleared their hideouts.”

He emphasized that the troops remain focused on restoring peace in the area.

During his visit, Gen. Onubogu also met with Emir of Kaiama, Alhaji Muazu Sheu Omar, and Shao’ki Aliyu Siki-Muhammed, head of the Kemanji community. He reassured them of the Army’s commitment to protecting lives and property.

Army Responds to COAS Deadline

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, earlier gave the troops a one-month deadline to clear out the insurgents.

Following the order, the 2 Division deployed soldiers to comb border communities and sweep the forest for terrorists.
