Troops of the Nigerian Army, working alongside members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have arrested a suspected Boko Haram recruiter in Benesheikh, Borno State.
The arrest followed credible intelligence from an informant, which linked the suspect to activities involving the recruitment of individuals into the terrorist group. Security sources said the operation was carried out on March 24 in a coordinated effort between the military and CJTF operatives.
“The suspect is currently in custody and will be processed in line with established procedures, while further investigations are ongoing to uncover his network and possible accomplices,” a source disclosed.
The development comes as Operation HADIN KAI continues to intensify intelligence-led operations across the North-East, targeting insurgent networks and cutting off recruitment channels that have sustained the region’s long-running insurgency.
