In Taraba, troops nab 10 suspected terrorists, recovers ammunitions

The Nigerian Army, in conjunction with other security agencies, has apprehended 10 terrorism suspects and recovered an AK-47 rifle with 33 rounds of ammunition in multiple operations in Taraba State.

This follows a report made to the Army regarding the actions of a suspected criminal syndicate, including terrorists, mercenaries, and kidnappers, in the state.

This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday, signed by the Acting Assistant Director of 6 Brigade, Army Public Relations, Oni Olubodunde.

The suspects were arrested for terrorism and kidnapping in Galeri and Kwondo villages of Ardo-Kola and Bali Local Government Areas of the state.

According to the statement, the operations occurred on July 22, 2024, following a tip-off, where the troops swiftly arrested two suspects named Ali Ibrahim and Wetti Ibrahim.

The statement noted that the suspects confessed to working with a terrorist leader named Kadogo Fun, who operates around the Bangalala and Kampani Zurak areas of Plateau State.

The statement partly read, “The suspects were Emmanuel Michael, aka Assay; Gabriel Samuel, aka Badoo; Fidelis Utuna; Edward Ochan; John Orhenbaga; Desmond Agbo; Thomas Ikyar; and Shafiu Shaibu, aka Odogwu.

“During preliminary investigations, it was revealed that the gang leader was part of Terwase Akwaza, aka Gana’s gang. Items recovered include 10 military camouflage uniforms, the sum of N60,000, and 30 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition after a search was conducted at one of the arrested suspects’ houses.

“The suspects are currently in custody and will be handed over to relevant authorities for further investigation and possible prosecution.”

Oni noted that the apprehension of the suspects and the recovery of the firearms is a testament to the effectiveness of a mutual relationship between the troops and the populace.

“The Brigade, therefore, appeals to the good people of Taraba State to continue supporting the security agencies in ensuring lasting peace and security in the state and ridding the entire state of criminal elements.

“Citizens are enjoined to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Together, we can build a safer and more secure Taraba State,” Oni said.
