Troops of the 1 Brigade, Operation FANSAN YANMA, have apprehended a suspected logistics supplier for terrorist activities in Zamfara State.

Security analyst and counter insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama disclosed this on Saturday via his X handle.

According to him, the incident unfolded when authorities received intelligence about the movement of the suspect, which led to the establishment of a snap checkpoint along the road from Kware to Badarawa in the Shinkafi Local Government Area.

Makama said that according to intelligence sources, the operation resulted in the arrest of 25-year-old Shamsiyya Ahadu, who was found in possession of a staggering 764 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 6 magazines, and a talisman (referred to locally as ‘laya’), signifying her potential involvement in illicit activities.

A motorcycle rider identified as Ahmed Husaini, was also detained during the operation.

“This arrest signifies the continual threat posed by criminal networks that compromise the safety and security of communities in Zamfara State”, Makama said.

He said also that as investigations proceed and the suspects remain in custody for further action, the message is clear: community safety hinges on continuous efforts to dismantle the parameters of terror financing and logistics that exploit vulnerable populations in Zamfara and beyond.
