Troops intercept two suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers, seize 750 litres of petrol in Yobe
By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested two suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers and recovered a large quantity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) during a snap checkpoint operation in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was conducted at about 3:30 p.m. on June 24 by troops of the 27 Task Force Brigade Garrison following credible intelligence on the movement of suspected terrorist collaborators along the Buni Gari–Bara road.
The suspects were identified as Lawali Alhaji Yunusa and Musa Ibrahim Baguwa, both natives of Kukawa Ward in Gulani Local Government Area of Yobe State.
Items recovered from the suspects include two TVS motorcycles, 30 jerrycans of 25 litres each filled with Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), amounting to about 750 litres of fuel, one Tecno mobile phone and the sum of ₦49,650.
Military sources said the suspects and the recovered exhibits are currently in the custody of the 27 Task Force Brigade Garrison for further investigation to establish their links with Boko Haram logistics networks.
The arrest is part of ongoing efforts by Operation HADIN KAI to disrupt the supply chain sustaining terrorist activities in the North-East by intercepting fuel, food and other logistics destined for insurgent enclaves.
UK National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell, who led the British side to the 4th UK-Nigeria Security Partnership Dialogue, met President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, on Tuesday. The NSA delivered a message from the British Government to the Nigerian leader.

As Jigawa State prepares to host J-INVEST 2026, it is important to reflect on some of the landmark investments that have laid the foundation for the state's industrial and economic transformation.
On 27th February 2024, Governor Mallam Umar Namadi commissioned and launched COMTTRAJIGAWA, the Hibiscus Processing Plant at the Maigatari Export Processing Zone. Established through a partnership between the Jigawa State Government and Comttraex Nigeria Limited, the project marked a significant step towards agricultural value addition, export promotion, job creation, and economic diversification.
Today, that vision continues to gain momentum as Jigawa opens its doors to investors through J-INVEST 2026, showcasing the state's growing potential in agriculture, manufacturing, renewable energy, and industrial development.
