Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have arrested a 15-year-old suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) logistics courier in Ngamdu, Borno, linking him to recent terrorist attacks and ongoing military airstrikes on insurgent enclaves in the Jilli axis.

Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the suspect, identified as Tijjani, was apprehended on Sunday while allegedly attempting to procure logistics for insurgent fighters operating within the Ngamdu–Benisheik corridor.

According to the sources, the suspect confessed during preliminary interrogation that he participated in the attacks on Benisheik and Ngamdu carried out on Thursday.

“My name is Tijjani, I am 15 years old. I was arrested today in Ngamdu. I was among the terrorists that attacked Benisheik and Ngamdu,” the source quoted him as saying.

He reportedly disclosed that the group mobilised from Jilli, a known insurgent stronghold in Gubio Local Government Area, before executing the attacks and subsequently returned to the enclave.

“Before the attack we came from Jilli and returned there after the attack,” he said.

The suspect further revealed that he was redeployed from Jilli on Saturday with the sum of N850,000 to procure supplies for other fighters.

“I was sent from Jilli yesterday with N850,000 to collect some logistics from Ngamdu, but I was arrested by troops,” he reportedly stated.

He added that he left behind other fighters at the Jilli enclave but could not confirm their fate following the recent military airstrikes on the area.

“I left my colleagues at Jilli yesterday. I don’t know what has happened to them there,” he said.

Military sources said the arrest of the suspect provides further insight into the operational and logistics network of ISWAP within the region, particularly the central role of Jilli as a staging ground and supply hub.

The development comes barely 24 hours after the Air Component of OPHK conducted precision airstrikes on the Jilli axis, destroying a major terrorist logistics base and neutralising scores of insurgents.

The strikes, which followed sustained Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, targeted a convergence of motorcycles and vehicles identified as belonging to insurgents and their logistics handlers.

Field reports indicated that at least two motorcycles and one vehicle were destroyed, while several terrorists were killed in the operation.

Some insurgents were said to have taken cover upon hearing the approaching aircraft but later returned in the evening to evacuate casualties.

Military authorities have consistently described Jilli as a “no man’s land” under insurgent control, where activities such as the so-called weekly market serve as logistics and coordination points for terrorist operations.

The arrest of the teenage suspect, who admitted to moving funds and facilitating supplies, underscores the reliance of insurgent groups on logistics couriers, including minors, to sustain their operations.

Security experts say disrupting such supply chains is critical to weakening the operational capacity of insurgent groups in the North-East.

The military has reiterated its commitment to sustaining pressure on terrorist enclaves through coordinated air and ground operations, aimed at dismantling logistics networks and preventing further attacks on both security forces and civilian communities.

Investigations into the suspect’s activities and possible accomplices are ongoing.

Ohh the theatrics!!!
🤦🏽‍♀️

Kill the idiot straight.

Iranian blood relative.He should be sent to Strait of Hormuz to collect toll.

That is their modus operandi: Use underage as suppliers and informants.

Later, the leaders will be shouting that the NA is killing underage and innocent.

Last week, when our military men were killed, they didn't raise any voice o. Bunch of terrorism supporters!

They are suppose to keep this infos then lunch the attack on the said date.
I don't just understand how security personnel acts without thinking

Houseofglam7:
Now they’re parading underage boys?
Ohh the theatrics!!!
🤦🏽‍♀️

How low can you go in your support for terrorism!

So, he shouldn't be paraded after been apprehended and confessed to being part of the terrorist attacks carried out last week?

This is pathetic..a kid like this who should be in school is actively involved in insurgency...now he is a risk to the society and also a risk to boko haram. If he is left in the society he is a danger..he is also a risk to boko haram since he has exposed them

Houseofglam7:
Now they’re parading underage boys?
Ohh the theatrics!!!
🤦🏽‍♀️

Nothing can be okay for an emotionally unstable person like yours, I wish you join them for a week or two then come back to analyse. Internet worries. Nor be your backyard dey burn now.

And he look so cute and innocent

There’s no need of using foot soldiers; if the Nigerian government genuinely wants to eradicate this bloodsucking demons called Bokoharam and ISWAP, air strike should be the only way of combating them. This boy obviously is their victim.

It's really sad and unfortunate,the northern elders and elites are not doing enough in eradicating the monster of terrorism.

The question is why is he still alive?

From Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan to Nigeria and other islamic nation, they are the same, imagine what they have brain washed a 15 year old to become, someone that is supposed to be under the care of his parents, this is what you get when you decide to fill people's brains with islamc knowledge and then claim western education is a sin

The North has a lot to do. Joblessness can make this people to do anything money. Some traditional leaders are also supporting the terrorists.

Exactly my thought when reading this whole epistle. I see our military as the architect of their own problems. Well, many of them are repentant Boko haram, selling info to the same insurgents.
Intel and info is ur number one weapon to dealing with insecurity.
