Nigerian Army troops working with NDLEA operatives arrest three suspected drug peddlers in Katsina State over allegations that they supply illicit drugs to terrorists and other criminal groups. Both outlets report that the arrests are made during a joint security operation combining military forces and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency. The Daily Post Nigeria says the arrests follow intelligence that the suspects are involved in trafficking or distributing controlled substances that allegedly support terrorist activities. The Punch similarly reports that the operation is aimed at disrupting the flow of illicit substances linked to terrorism in the state. Security analyst Zagazola Makama is cited in the Daily Post Nigeria’s account as sharing information about the incident. The reports do not provide further details in the excerpted text on the suspects’ identities, the specific drugs involved, or whether charges have been filed. The focus across both sources is the coordinated effort between the military and NDLEA to curb drug trafficking that authorities say enables terrorism and related crime in Katsina.
