Security operatives have arrested four informants suspected to be leaking information to terrorists about locations and movements of troops around the outskirts of Abuja PRNigeria has reported.
According to an intelligence operative, the suspects were arrested with sophisticated equipment including Walkie-Talkies, revolver, knives, amulets, and old Chinese made phones, that do not use data.
The source, who was part of the raid that led to the arrest of the informants, PRNigeria further reports, said discreet investigations were ongoing to confirm their leaders and financiers.
“The suspects are currently being interrogated to determine if they are working for terrorist groups or armed bandits or other elements with ulterior motives.
“I can authoritatively inform you that, while the military has deliberately refused to provide updates since the attack on Kuje Prison, to last attacks on troops at the Bwari and Zuma Rock axis, the joint security task force has so far killed more than 70 armed criminals, including dangerous Kuje prison escapees and terrorists,” the source said.
PRNigeria further gathered that the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) is coordinating a discreet intelligence operation that is providing new clues and traces of groups behind recent attacks on security personnel and formations.
