In Borno State’s Magumeri Local Government Area, soldiers from the 109th Special Forces Battalion and the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) have apprehended a wanted terrorist.
Zagazola Makama, an expert on counter-terrorism, posted on X that intelligence-driven activities led to the tracking down and eventual arrest of the suspect, Madumaki Modugai, in Magumeri village at approximately 10:45 p.m. on October 5, 2026.
According to what Zagazola revealed, the guy allegedly slipped into town, which caused residents to become terrified of him.
He went on to say that the residents’ confidence was restored and the situation was calmed down once the terrorist was arrested.
The security specialist went on to say that the suspect was believed to have been operating around the Niger Republic and the Lake Chad region, according to preliminary interrogation.
“The suspect is currently in military custody pending further questioning and any required action,” he stated, adding that security authorities are anticipated to probe the suspect’s whereabouts, actions, and any connections to terrorist networks based in the Lake Chad region.
