The Nigerian Army's 6 Brigade has announced the arrest of three individuals suspected of aiding terrorist activities in Taraba State. This was revealed in a statement on Friday by Olubodunde Oni, the brigade's spokesperson, in Jalingo, the state capital.

According to Mr. Oni, the operation occurred on October 15 at Landey Jessy village in Lau Local Government Area and was based on intelligence reports. These reports indicated that some bandits were operating from the Kona Mountain Range, spanning Jalingo and Lau Local Government Areas.

Troops conducted a carefully planned operation in the area, resulting in the arrest of the three suspects, whose identities are being withheld. During questioning, one of the suspects admitted that his home had been used as a storage facility for weapons after their criminal operations.


Furthermore, one of the suspects was identified by a victim whom he had attempted to kidnap in Iware, located in Ardo-Kola Local Government Area, in September.

Mr. Oni added that the suspects are currently in custody and undergoing further investigation. He reaffirmed the Nigerian Army's dedication to safeguarding lives and property, as well as defending the nation's territorial integrity. 

He also urged the public to continue providing timely and credible information to security forces, as collective efforts are essential in the fight against terrorism and other security challenges.
