Terrorist supply: Wanted soldier arrested in Borno fleeing to Cameroon
The Nigerian Army has confirmed the arrest of a soldier, Private Mohammed Yusuf, recently declared wanted for his alleged involvement in the illegal supply of military accoutrements to terrorist and other criminal elements.
The Army, in a statement on Sunday, said he was arrested by troops of 7 Provost Group, Operation Hadin Kai, at Jidari Bus Stop, Maiduguri, while allegedly attempting to flee to the Republic of Cameroon.
The acting Military Information Officer, Northeast Joint Taskforce Operation Hadin Kai, Capt Muhammed Goni, said preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect absconded from his unit on July 7, 2026, and subsequently relocated to Maiduguri, where he reportedly went into hiding.
The statement read: “Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a soldier recently declared wanted by the Nigerian Army for his alleged involvement in the illegal supply of military accoutrements to terrorist and other criminal elements, in a sustained effort to dismantle criminal support network.”
