Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have apprehended a suspected logistics supplier for Boko Haram in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.
The suspect, identified as Ahmadu Mohammed Dogo, was apprehended at Muna Garage at about 11:50 a.m. on Monday, August 4, 2025 following credible human intelligence.
According to preliminary investigations, the suspect was intercepted while allegedly attempting to convey Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) concealed in Fearless energy drink plastic bottles and packed in 12 sacks.
The suspect reportedly confessed during interrogation that he was transporting the fuel to Gamboru-Ngala, a border town in Borno State, believed to be a major logistics route for insurgents operating along the fringes of the Lake Chad Basin.
Items recovered from his possession included the PMS-filled plastic bottles, charms, suspected hard drugs, rings, syringes, and several personal effects.
Security sources said the arrest forms part of ongoing counter-terrorism efforts to cut off Boko Haram’s logistics and financial networks in the North East.
The suspect is currently in military custody and undergoing further interrogation.
