Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested three suspected female collaborators of ISWAP terrorists during an operation in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was made known in a post on X by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region.
Makama disclosed that the suspects were apprehended following intercepted communication indicating a planned movement of a woman to a terrorist enclave.
According to him, troops of the 222 Battalion (Mechanised) carried out the operation at an internally displaced persons, IDPs, camp in Konduga, where the suspects were picked up based on intelligence findings.
The security expert noted that the suspects were alleged to be linked to facilitating movements and communication between civilians and terrorist elements operating within the region.
He pointed out that military authorities said the three suspects were currently in custody of the troops for further investigation and necessary action.
“The operation forms part of ongoing efforts to disrupt support networks and dismantle collaboration channels aiding terrorist activities in the North-East.
“Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of their involvement and possible connections to other elements within the network,” Makama said.
