Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested two suspected Boko Haram collaborators in Borno State over their alleged involvement in supplying materials to the terrorist group.
The suspects were reportedly apprehended while attempting to smuggle supplies believed to be intended for Boko Haram members operating in the state.
Their arrest followed a military operation aimed at disrupting the activities of terrorist groups and cutting off their sources of supplies.
The suspects have been taken into military custody for further investigation to establish the extent of their alleged involvement and identify other individuals connected to the supply network.
The operation forms part of the Nigerian Army's ongoing efforts to weaken the operational capabilities of Boko Haram and other armed groups operating in the North-East.
Security forces have continued to target suspected collaborators, logistics networks and supply routes believed to support terrorist activities in the region.
ReportNaija reports that Borno State has remained one of the major areas affected by the Boko Haram insurgency, which has caused years of insecurity and displacement in Nigeria's North-East.
