Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested three suspected ISWAP recruitment agents in Banki town, Borno State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the arrests followed a tip-off from the Banki District Head on Jan. 17.

Intelligence operatives were deployed to Banki on a covert mission, where they intercepted the suspects as they tried to recruit and transport youths for terrorist training.

The arrested men have been identified as Gajibo Kayama, 23; Tahiru Modu, 22; and Bulama Modu, 24. They are suspected of recruiting youths aged 17 to 20 from Banki for ISWAP activities in Adamawa State.

Preliminary investigations suggest the suspects were former ISWAP members who had reportedly repented about five years ago but are now allegedly resuming recruitment.

The suspects have been handed over to the Military Intelligence Regiment for further interrogation and action.
