Among those apprehended were Usman Gujja, Abu Hamman Dawud, Ramat Ibrahim, Hala Hadum, Alhaji Kawu, and the driver, Bulama Ali Boscoro.
These suspects are currently in military custody, undergoing interrogation to ascertain their connections with the terrorist organization operating in the state.
The arrest was carried out by troops from the 112 Task Force Battalion of Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with HYBRID forces, during a routine search operation in Mafa local government area.
According to Zagazola Makama, a source within the state, the suspects were intercepted with an Isuzu truck loaded with gum Arabic valued at N2 million.
