Soldiers caught a pregnant woman who they say was trying to send important supplies to Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters in Borno state.According to security sources who spoke to Zagazola Makama, a publication that covers counter–insurgency issues, the woman named Falmata Adamu, who is 28 years old, was taken into custody on July 13 during regular checkpoint checks on the Mandaragirau–Biu road.

“According to the sources, the woman was intercepted after troops discovered items concealed in her civilian clothing during a search,” Makama reported

“The recovered items included 17 torchlights and 19 Tiger batteries, which are suspected to have been destined for a terrorist enclave.

“The suspect was taken into custody, while preliminary investigations are ongoing to determine the intended recipients of the items and possible links to terrorist logistics networks.”

Makama said the arrest was part of Operation Hadin Kai’s sustained efforts to cut off logistics channels supplying Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters in the north-east.

The publication added that the security situation across the theatre remains relatively calm.

Makama said troops have maintained heightened operational readiness due to the unpredictable nature of the insurgency.
