Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have apprehended a suspected key drug supplier to Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in Adamawa State.
The suspect, 45-year-old Zubairu Muhammad, was arrested around 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday by soldiers of the 232 Battalion in Uba.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that Muhammad is suspected of supplying cannabis sativa and crystal meth, also known as ICE, to terrorist groups through the Askira-Uba, Chibok, Michika, and Damboa corridors.
Authorities recovered 14 blocks of cannabis valued at over N1 million and 43 grams of ICE worth more than N3 million from Muhammad.
He was also found in possession of two Army camouflage T-shirts, which he allegedly used while delivering the drugs to the terrorist groups.
Preliminary investigations have been concluded, and the seized substances are scheduled to be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Yola Command, for further action.
