Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA have dealt a significant
blow to terrorist logistics networks in Kebbi State, intercepting 10 brand-new
Honda motorcycles allegedly destined for terrorists and arresting 10 suspects
linked to the supply chain.
The development was contained in a post shared on Tuesday by
crisis reporter in the North-West region, Bakatsine, via his X handle.
According to Bakatsine, the operation was carried out on
Monday afternoon following credible intelligence on the movement of logistics
intended for terrorist elements operating in the state.
The report said troops intercepted the 10 motorcycles, which
had been strategically concealed inside cardboard cartons, while they were
allegedly being transported to a notorious terrorist kingpin, Mallam Gehowa,
who operates around the Amogoro axis.
Following the interception, troops launched a swift
follow-up operation and tracked down four additional suspects who had
reportedly arrived to collect the consignment.
In total, 10 suspects believed to be linked to the terrorist
logistics network were arrested during the operation.
The successful operation is seen as another major disruption
of terrorist supply chains in the North-West, highlighting the effectiveness of
intelligence-led military operations aimed at denying criminal groups access to
mobility and other logistical support.
