Army troops under Operation HADIN KAI arrest a suspected logistics supplier linked to the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno State while attempting to move a large consignment of pharmaceutical drugs toward Damboa. Reporting drawn from a post on X by security expert Zagazola Makama says the interception happens around 11:00 a.m. on 10 July during routine security screening at the Molai Main Entrance Gate on the outskirts of Maiduguri. The suspect, identified as Mohammed Goni, 31, is said to be travelling in a vehicle headed for Damboa when troops search the vehicle and discover assorted pharmaceutical drugs. The suspect reportedly fails to produce valid clearance or documentation authorising the movement of the medical supplies. Troops detain him for further questioning due to suspicious circumstances around the shipment. The sources state that the suspect is handed over to the Military Intelligence Brigade for investigations to determine the drugs’ source, intended destination, and possible connections to ISWAP logistics in Nigeria’s North-East. No additional confirmed details about the investigation outcomes are provided in the reports.

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have arrested a suspected logistics supplier to the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, while attempting to transport a large consignment of pharmaceutical drugs towards Damboa in Borno State. This is contained in a post on X by a security expert, Zagazola Makama on Saturday. Zagazola said the suspect was intercepted at about 11:00 a.m. on July 10 during routine security screening by intelligence personnel of the 18 Battalion deployed at the Molai Main Entrance Gate on the outskirts of Maiduguri. He identified the suspect as Mohammed Goni, 31, who was travelling in a vehicle heading towards Damboa when troops subjected the vehicle to a routine search. Zagazola added that the search led to the discovery of a large quantity of assorted pharmaceutical drugs in the suspect’s possession. He was unable to produce any valid clearance or documentation authorising the movement of the medical supplies to the conflict-prone area. “The circumstances surrounding the movement of the drugs raised suspicion, prompting the troops to immediately detain the suspect for further interrogation,” he said. According to him, the suspect has since been handed over to the Military Intelligence Brigade for detailed investigation to determine the source of the drugs, their intended destination and any possible links to ISWAP’s logistics network operating within the North-East. The arrest, he said, forms part of ongoing intelligence-led efforts by Operation HADIN KAI to dismantle terrorist logistics networks by intercepting critical supplies before they reach insurgent enclaves. Investigations are ongoing.
