The Nigerian army have said that it has arrested 5 key terrorists logistics and firefighters, Leakers.ng reports.

This is coming following its recent launch of “Operation Positive Identification” in North Eastern part of the country.

People living Borno and Yobe states are implored to be moving around wherever they are going with valid means of identification such as National Identification Card, Voters Registration Card, Drivers' License and International Passports or other valid official identification unless they want to be mistook for terrorist, Leakers.ng reports.

In a press release this morning by Deputy Director Army Public Relations, colonel ADO ISA, it was reported that “OPERATION POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION" is yielding good result as NORTH EAST OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE nabs 5 key terrorists logistics suppliers and fighters so far.

Following the commencement of "Operation POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION" by the Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE(OPLD) across the North Eastern part of Nigeria, troops have intensified searching for and arresting all suspected criminal elements that roam parts of the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

Recall that based on credible information that some of the fleeing criminals are hibernating in some towns and villages of Borno and Yobe States in particular and North East in general, the Theatre Command OPLD enjoined members of the public to always carry valid means of identification such as National Identification Card when moving or passing through Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States.

The troops are directed to strictly check legitimate means of identification only before allowing anybody passage and the general public is hereby enjoined to cooperate with the troops by moving along with valid identification cards and present same to the troops in the efforts to rid the North East zone of criminals fleeing for safety.”

Good job by the Army




But this criminal elements will still look for a way to manipulate, as they have sponsors in high places.


Thumbprinting would have been a better option to flush out terrorism in Nigeria.

Good job by the army.

Fighting criminals is a responsible for all.

Do we have a database that verifies that the IDs being carried are genuine and belong to the holder?
In this country where IDs can be issued sight unseen, anybody can produce ID in an afternoon for 10k or less.

Well, until the higher-ups are brought to book, all this "positive ID" is just an exercise in time wasting.
