Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a 28-year-old pregnant woman, identified as Falmata Adamu, for allegedly transporting supplies suspected to be meant for Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in Borno State.
According to security sources quoted by counter-insurgency publication Zagazola Makama, the suspect was intercepted on July 13 during a routine checkpoint operation along the Mandaragirau–Biu road.
The sources said troops became suspicious during a search and discovered several items concealed beneath her civilian clothing. The recovered items included 17 torchlights and 19 Tiger batteries, which security operatives believe were being transported to a terrorist enclave.
Falmata was immediately taken into custody, while security agencies launched preliminary investigations to determine the intended recipients of the items and whether she is linked to terrorist logistics networks.
The arrest is said to be part of Operation Hadin Kai’s ongoing efforts to disrupt the supply chains and logistics networks sustaining Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents across Nigeria’s North-East.
