Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a serving soldier and a police officer for allegedly smuggling weapons and supplies to Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in the North East.
According to a source at Army Headquarters, the arrests were made between September 26 and 28 during intelligence-led operations.
On September 26, troops noticed suspicious movement of military ammunition along a known supply route in Borno.
This led to a sting operation on Saturday September 27, where the suspects were caught with rifles, ammunition, and communication devices.
Preliminary investigations suggest the two officers are linked to a larger supply network currently under surveillance.
The suspects are being held in military custody for questioning and will face disciplinary action before being handed over for prosecution.
