By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of the 1 Brigade, Operation FANSAN YANMA, have apprehended a suspected logistics supplier for terrorist activities in Zamfara State.

The incident unfolded when authorities received intelligence about the movement of the suspect, leading to the establishment of a snap checkpoint along the road from Kware to Badarawa in the Shinkafi Local Government Area.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation resulted in the arrest of 25-year-old Shamsiyya Ahadu, who was found in possession of a staggering 764 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 6 magazines, and a talisman (referred to locally as 'laya'), signifying her potential involvement in illicit activities. Alongside Ahadu, a motorcycle rider named Ahmed Husaini was also detained during the operation.

This arrest signified the continual threat posed by criminal networks that compromise the safety and security of communities in Zamfara State.

As investigations proceed and the suspects remain in custody for further action, the message is clear: community safety hinges on continuous efforts to dismantle the parameters of terror financing and logistics that exploit vulnerable populations in Zamfara and beyond.
