The Department of State Services (DSS) in Borno State, in collaboration with forest guards, has intercepted a large consignment of medical supplies allegedly intended for fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), following recent intelligence-led counter-terrorism operations in the North-East.
According to Zagazola Makama, security sources said the interception was carried out on Friday in Kaga Local Government Area during a coordinated operation along a suspected supply route used by insurgent logistics networks operating within forested areas in the state.
The seized items reportedly include substantial quantities of pain relief medications, anti-malaria injections, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical products, as well as other consumables believed to support battlefield resupply efforts. 
The sources added that the consignment was linked to attempts to replenish ISWAP fighters who were said to have suffered heavy casualties and disruptions during recent intelligence-led operations involving US-AFRICOM and Nigerian security forces.
Although officials did not provide full operational details, the interception was described as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle insurgent logistics chains and block the movement of supplies to remote terrorist enclaves.
Preliminary investigations suggest the materials were being moved in small, concealed batches to avoid detection along forest routes used by security patrols.
The intercepted items have been taken into custody for forensic examination, while security agencies are expected to intensify operations aimed at disrupting remaining supply networks.
