Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma (OPFY) on a patrol near Maradun in Zamfara State have intercepted a 35-year-old terrorists’ collaborator, and recovered N5.302 million and mobile phone from him.
“Preliminary interrogation showed the suspect was allegedly delivering the funds on behalf of a terrorist leader to another individual, Kasimu Garba, who was arrested at his residence. Both suspects are in custody for further investigation,” Lt.-Col Aliyu Danja, the Media Information Officer of OPHK, said in a statement on Saturday.
Danja also said the troops recorded fresh successes against terrorists in separate operations across the state on Friday, disrupting terrorist movements, intercepted logistics supplier, recovered military accoutrements among other items, and neutralised an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) from a major road.
