The successful raid was undertaken following credible intelligence that some members of the community are suppliers of fuel and other products to insurgents.

A statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brig-Gen Mohammed Yerima said,
“All the recovered items and the suspects are in our custody for preliminary investigations before handing them over to the appropriate agency for prosecution.

“The Nigerian Army remains determined to sustain their offensive operations in the area and assures the public that the Army leadership is committed to achieving the overall objective of keeping the North East and the entire country free of terrorism, banditry and other violent crimes.
