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.
