Troops Arrest Two Suspected ISWAP Logistics Suppliers in Borno

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested two suspected Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) logistics suppliers in separate operations conducted in Borno State.

According to a special operational report by the Headquarters Joint Task Force (North-East), Operation Hadin Kai, the suspects were apprehended during intelligence-led operations aimed at disrupting terrorist support networks in the state.

The report stated that the first suspect, identified as Musa Idi, was arrested at about 2:00 p.m. on June 8 by troops of the 162 Amphibious Battalion at a checkpoint along the Mandaragirau-Sabon Gari road.

Items recovered from the suspect included five containers of Atraforce chemical, five containers of Kelisate herbicide, 100 sachets of tramadol capsules and two small nylon bags containing suspected smoked substances.

Military sources said the suspect is currently undergoing preliminary investigation at the Abogo Largema Military Cantonment to determine the extent of his involvement with terrorist elements operating in the area.

In a related development, troops of the 19 Battalion and 25 Brigade Garrison, working in conjunction with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), arrested another suspect, Abu Aji, during a patrol at the Damboa market later the same day.

The report indicated that the suspect was apprehended over alleged links to the supply of logistics to Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters operating within Damboa Local Government Area.

During preliminary interrogation, the suspect reportedly confessed to supplying logistics to terrorist elements.

Items recovered from him included 19 wristwatches, a large mat, a transistor radio and two cartons of agro-allied chemicals.

The military said the suspect and the recovered items had been transferred to the Headquarters of the 25 Brigade for further investigation and necessary action.

The sources noted that disrupting logistics networks remains a critical aspect of counterinsurgency operations, as insurgent groups rely heavily on local suppliers for food, communication devices, medications and other essential materials required for sustaining operations.

They added that the arrest of logistics suppliers could provide valuable intelligence capable of exposing wider support networks and facilitating future operations against terrorist cells.

Operation Hadin Kai has continued to intensify intelligence-driven operations across the North-East aimed at degrading the operational capability of Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters while denying them access to supplies and safe havens.

PRESS RELEASE

OGUN POLICE DETECTIVES UNCOVER TRANSNATIONAL FAKE KIDNAPPING SYNDICATE, ARREST EIGHT FOREIGN NATIONALS OVER STAGED ABDUCTION AND RANSOM FRAUD

Detectives attached to Ifo Division of the Ogun State Police Command, led by CSP Olabisi Kamorudeen, the Divisional Police Officer have uncovered a transnational criminal syndicate involved in a carefully coordinated fake kidnapping scheme designed to extort ransom from unsuspecting families abroad. The operation led to the arrest of eight foreign nationals, namely Zakaria Zawadogo ‘M’ aged 34yrs, Burkina Faso; Cheik El-Mehdi ‘M’ aged 23yrs, Mauritania; Suren Neta ‘F’ aged 25yrs, Ivory Coast; Koffi Breno ‘M’ aged 36yrs, Ivory Coast; Gondo Treso ‘M’ aged 32yrs, Ivory Coast; Kunuji Ezekiel ‘M’ aged 27yrs, Republic of Benin; Kougasi John ‘M’, Ivory Coast; and Hemue Blinsi ‘M’ aged 30yrs, Côte d’Ivoire. The suspects were arrested during an intelligence-led operation in Adiyan Town, Agbado Area of Ogun State following credible intelligence and sustained surveillance into a reported kidnapping incident that was later uncovered to be a staged abduction.

The breakthrough followed a report received on June 6, 2026, from a concerned informant, who alerted the Police that a 23-year-old Mauritanian national, Cheik El-Mehdi, had contacted his family abroad in May 2026 claiming he had been kidnapped in Nigeria and demanding ransom for his release. Shortly after, another suspect, Zakaria Zawadogo, reinforced the demand with threats that the victim would be killed if the ransom was not paid.

Upon receipt of the complaint, detectives of Ifo Division immediately activated intelligence-driven investigation. This swift response proved decisive in uncovering the location of the suspects and preventing what could have resulted in a successful cross-border financial crime.

The technical intelligence report revealed that the suspects were operating from a hideout in Adiyan Town, Agbado Area of Ogun State. Acting on this intelligence, operatives were swiftly mobilized to the location where Zakaria Zawadogo was arrested. He subsequently led detectives to the syndicate’s hideout, resulting in the arrest of Cheik El-Mehdi, Suren Neta, and five other foreign nationals.

All suspects were taken into custody, while the premises were secured and thoroughly searched in line with due process.

Preliminary findings revealed that the operation was a coordinated criminal enterprise involving the deliberate staging of a kidnapping scenario to defraud the victim’s family. It was further established that Suren Neta lured Cheik El-Mehdi into Nigeria, while Zakaria Zawadogo coordinated the ransom demands and issued threats to compel payment. The purported victim was also found to have actively participated in the orchestration of the fake abduction.

The principal suspects, Zakaria Zawadogo, Cheik El-Mehdi, and Suren Neta, have all confessed to their involvement in the conspiracy, while further investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of the syndicate’s operations and possible links to other transnational criminal networks.

The case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for discreet and further investigation.

The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Bode Ojajuni, psc, FCSS, MNIPR, commends the professionalism, discipline, and swift response of the detectives under CSP Olabisi Kamorudeen, whose intelligence-led action exposed and dismantled the criminal scheme.

The CP notes that the case highlights the increasing sophistication of transnational criminal activities and reaffirms the Command’s commitment to proactive policing, intelligence gathering, and sustained operations against organized crime.

He reassures members of the public that Ogun State remains a hostile environment for criminal elements and that the Command will continue to strengthen internal and cross-border collaboration to ensure public safety.

This week, I had the privilege of joining colleagues from the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, development partners, researchers, and health sector stakeholders at the inception meeting of the Nigeria Health System Exemplar Analysis for Action Project.

Lagos State is honoured to have been selected as one of Nigeria’s Health System Exemplar States. Beyond the recognition, this presents an important opportunity to objectively reflect on our health sector journey over the past decade, understand what has worked, identify areas for improvement, and strengthen our commitment to evidence-based decision-making.

As I noted during the meeting, health outcomes are not produced by the public sector alone. They emerge from a complex healthcare ecosystem comprising public institutions, private healthcare providers, development partners, professional bodies, academia, communities, and citizens working together towards a common goal.

As this study unfolds, we will seek to better understand how these investments, policies, innovations, partnerships, and leadership decisions have contributed to improvements in health outcomes across Lagos State. By doing so, we can build on what works, address existing gaps, and accelerate our journey towards Universal Health Coverage.

We look forward to contributing to this important national learning exercise and to sharing lessons that can support stronger, more resilient health systems across Nigeria.

He was known as "Manti" to some, a nightmare to many communities, and now, to the VCRU, he is under arrest.

For an extended period, Umar Abubakar, also known as "Manti," led a kidnapping syndicate that targeted Okuta, Ilesha-Baruba, Tabida, Taberu, and nearby communities in Kwara North.

Families lived in fear, and communities remained cautious while "Manti" operated with apparent impunity. The Kwara State VCRU ultimately apprehended him.

On 1st June 2026, operatives attached to Okuta Divisional Headquarters conducted a routine raid in the Tabida area, Baruten LGA. Suspicious persons were apprehended and transferred to the VCRU for detailed profiling.

Intelligence efforts identified the gang leader, and subsequent operations resulted in his arrest. Two AK-47 rifles with fully loaded magazines were recovered.

These weapons, previously used to threaten communities, are now secured and permanently removed from criminal possession.

"Manti" and his associates are in custody and are providing information that is helping investigators uncover more details about the network.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc (+), NPM, established the VCRU as a specialized unit to identify, pursue, and dismantle the most dangerous criminal networks in Nigeria. Today, in Kwara North, the unit fulfilled this mandate.

For the communities affected by this syndicate, "Manti" is now in custody and the threat has ended.

Further intelligence-driven investigation resulted in the recovery of two AK-47 rifles with fully loaded magazines believed to have been used by the criminal gang in carrying out their operations. The recovery represents a significant disruption of the group's operational capability and a major step towards restoring public safety within the affected areas.

The suspects are currently in police custody and are providing investigators with useful information that will aid in identifying and apprehending other members of the criminal network.
