Troops dismantle terrorist logistics networks, arrest 56 collaborators, recover arms in one week
Fifty-six people are in custody this week after Nigerian Armed Forces troops moved against terrorist supply networks across the country, rounding up suspected arms dealers, logistics suppliers, and collaborators in a single seven-day push.
The operation targeted the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that keeps armed groups funded and equipped, going after the networks rather than just the fighters themselves. Authorities also recovered weapons during the sweep, though full details of the cache have not been released in the available source material.
The arrests signal a deliberate shift in military strategy, one focused on cutting off resources at the source. Watch this space as more details from the operation emerge.
