In its continued offensive against terrorist activities in the North-East, troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have arrested one Zubairu Muhammad, 45, a suspected major drug supplier to Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists operating across parts of Borno and Adamawa States and recovered 14 blocks of cannabis sativa valued at over N1 million, and 43 grammes of ICE, valued at more than N3 million from him.
Mohammed was also found with two Army camouflage T-shirts, which he allegedly used while delivering illicit substances to terrorists.
A report on Friday by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency analyst, said the suspect, identified as Zubairu Muhammad, 45, was arrested at about 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday by troops of 232 Battalion (Tactical), Uba, Adamawa State.
Sources told the security expert that Muhammad is believed to be one of the major suppliers of cannabis sativa and crystal meth (popularly known as ICE) to terrorists through the Askira-Uba, Chibok, Michika and Damboa corridors.
The source said preliminary investigation had been concluded, and that the exhibits would be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Yola Command, for further action.
