Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a suspected terrorist informant and logistics supplier during a routine patrol in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The suspect was apprehended in Kangiwa while soldiers from the 8 Division were conducting a patrol along the Falde–Gedere road. Security sources said preliminary investigations suggest the suspect allegedly provided information and logistical support to terrorist groups operating within the area.

During the operation, troops recovered a motorcycle, a mobile phone, and ₦69,000 in cash. The recovered items are believed to be connected to the suspect’s alleged activities, although investigations are still ongoing.
Military authorities have taken the suspect into custody for further interrogation as security agencies work to uncover possible links to terrorist networks and identify other individuals who may have been involved.
The arrest forms part of the Nigerian Army’s ongoing counter-terrorism operations aimed at dismantling support networks, disrupting the movement of criminal elements, and improving security across parts of the North-West.
Security forces have continued to intensify patrols and intelligence-driven operations in Kebbi and neighbouring states as part of broader efforts to curb terrorism, banditry, and other violent crimes in the region.
