Troops under Operation MESA have arrested two suspected terrorist logistics couriers along the Obajana–Kabba road in Lokoja Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The operation was carried out in the early hours of April 20 following credible intelligence on the movement of individuals believed to be transporting logistics for terrorist activities.
Security sources said troops of the 12 Brigade mounted a snap checkpoint at RA Oshokoshoko, where they intercepted a vehicle travelling from Makurdi to Obajana with the suspects onboard.
A search of the vehicle uncovered a sack containing 314 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition and three AK-47 magazines concealed behind the driver’s seat.
Other items recovered from the suspects include two mobile phones, a driver’s licence, a National Identification Number slip, and an identity card.
The suspects have since been taken into military custody, while investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of their involvement and possible links to terrorist networks.
