Troops have neutralised a suspected female ISWAP/JAS spy in Borno and arrested 14 suspected criminals, including IPOB/ESN members, cultists and a deserter soldier in separate operations across the country.
Operational reports made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday said the suspected terrorist was sighted through CCTV cameras approaching a military position from the Sambisa axis.
The report said troops of 222 Battalion at Forward Operating Base Kawuri in Konduga Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno neutralised the suspect before she could reach the defensive perimeter.
It said troops of Operation MESA also arrested a deserter soldier of 13 Brigade at a checkpoint in Bwari Area Council of the FCT.
According to the report, the troops recovered a military uniform and a vehicle from the deserter during the arrest.
“The troops also intercepted another vehicle conveying suspected stolen armoured cables and arrested the driver for further investigation.
“In the South-East, troops of Operation UDO KA apprehended five suspected IPOB/ESN members at Etuekwe Junction in Orsu LGA of Imo,” it said.
The report said the suspects were arrested at a secluded location believed to be a movement route used by the criminal group.
It added that troops of 82 Division Garrison and 103 Battalion, working with other security agencies, arrested eight suspected cultists at Eha-Amufu in Isi-Uzo LGA of Enugu.
“Preliminary investigation linked the suspects to terrorist activities around the Eha-Amufu border communities between Enugu and Ebonyi states.
“The suspects were subsequently handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation and prosecution,” it added.
The report said troops conducting Operations Desert Sanity V, FANSAN YAMMA and Savannah Shield recorded no major incidents within their respective areas of responsibility during the period under review.
It also disclosed that a delegation from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Sub-Delegation, Maiduguri, visited Sector 3 of Operation HADIN KAI/MNJTF at Kinnasara Cantonment in Monguno, Borno.
According to the report, the ICRC team briefed the sector commander on its humanitarian mandate and commitment to promoting International Humanitarian Law and supporting conflict-affected populations across the Lake Chad Basin.

Happy residents chanting 4+4 during the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike’s inspection of the ongoing construction of the road linking Bill Clinton Drive (Airport Road) with Tungan Madaki and other communities with Zuba today.
Watch:
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has directed the immediate stoppage of the use of green areas as well as parks and gardens in the capital city as car dealership Lots.
The Minister, who decried the use of areas designated for parks and recreation like the Millennium Park and others as car lots, directed that all unauthorized use of such areas will be closely monitored to ensure compliance.
This is part of the efforts of the FCT Administration to manage flooding being experienced in some parts of the Federal Capital City.
Consequently, a Task Force has been set up to enforce this directive.
Also, the Minister has directed the investigation of some civil servants responsible for granting illegal approvals authorising the use green areas as car dealership lots.
The affected civil servants, particularly the Directors of Parks and Recreation, Environmental Protection, Traffic Management and Urban Affairs have been summoned by the FCT Head of Service, Nancy Sabanti Nathan.
Women from Bin-Per community in Ruff, Kombun District of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, staged a peaceful protest on Tuesday as 24 residents killed by gunmen were given a mass burial.
The women marched through the community carrying leaves and mourning the loss of their loved ones while calling on the government to urgently strengthen security and protect residents from further attacks.
The protest came hours after armed men reportedly invaded homes in the community during the night, killing and injuring residents.
One of the protesters, Mrs Ladi Joshua, said the women were devastated by the loss of their husbands, children, relatives and other members of the community.
Holding leaves above their heads, the protesters expressed grief over the killings and demanded an end to the recurring attacks on Bin-Per and other communities across Plateau State.
Speaking during the burial service, President of the Mwaghavul Youth Movement, Kyesmang Jonathan, confirmed that 24 victims had been buried following the attack.
Jonathan said some residents who sustained injuries were still receiving treatment in various hospitals, while many others were displaced and struggling to cope with the aftermath of the violence.
He described the killings as a painful loss to the community and condemned the continued attacks on innocent residents.
The youth leader called on the government and security agencies to take urgent steps to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further loss of lives.
He also commiserated with the families of the deceased, sympathised with those injured and displaced, and urged security agencies to identify, arrest and prosecute those responsible for the attack.
The latest incident has renewed concerns over the security situation in parts of Plateau State, where communities have continued to experience deadly attacks and displacement.
