Monday, July 27, 2026 -Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested a soldier declared wanted by the Nigerian Army over his alleged involvement in supplying military accoutrements to terrorist groups operating in the North-East.
The suspect, identified as 23NA/84/1939 Private Mohammed
Yusuf of the Nigerian Army Ordnance Training Facility (NAOTF), Lagos, was
apprehended at about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 25, 2026 by troops of 7 Provost

Preliminary investigations revealed that before he was
declared wanted by the Army, the soldier absconded from his unit and travelled
to Maiduguri on July 7, where he allegedly went into hiding.
Investigators further established that he was allegedly
sheltered at Gomari Costain in Jere Local Government Area of Borno State by
25NA/89/12687 Private Baba Kamal Sale of the Corps of Intelligence, Dikwa.
Acting on credible intelligence, troops of the 7 Provost
Group placed the suspect under 24-hour surveillance before intercepting and
arresting him at Jidari Bus Stop while he was allegedly attempting to flee to
Cameroon.
The suspect is currently in the custody of the 7 Provost
Group, where he is undergoing further investigation into the alleged supply of
military accoutrements to terrorist elements and the possible involvement of
other collaborators.
Military sources described the arrest as a significant
breakthrough in ongoing efforts to dismantle insider networks aiding terrorist
groups, adding that investigations are continuing to establish the full extent
of the suspect’s activities and identify any accomplice
