NIGERIAN MILITARY ARREST 6 DANGEROUS CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS AND ARMS SUPPLIERS TO BANDITS FROM JOS; RECOVER 7 GUNS.

Troops of Sector 7 of Operation Enduring Peace have intercepted six suspected terrorists’ logistics suppliers travelling in a Jos-Minna bound vehicle, recovering seven firearms and arresting all the suspects during a stop-and-search operation in Kaduna State.

The suspects were intercepted at the Samaru checkpoint in Zonkwa District of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area at about 9:40 a.m. on Monday 13th July 2026.

A statement by the Media Information Officer of Operation Enduring Peace, Captain Chinonso Polycarp Oteh, made available to newsmen in Jos, said the operation was part of the ongoing offensive aimed at disrupting criminal activities and denying terrorists freedom of action within the Joint Operations Area.

According to the statement, the suspects were travelling in an ash-coloured Mercedes-Benz with registration number EDO GUE-722-LV from Jos, Plateau State, to Minna, Niger State, when troops intercepted and searched the vehicle.

Captain Oteh said the suspects confessed they were travelling from Jos to Niger State.

He said items recovered from the vehicle included three AK-47 rifles, four sub-machine guns and the Mercedes-Benz used for the trip.

The military spokesman further disclosed that one of the suspects attempted to flee during the operation but was immediately subdued.
He said the suspect sustained injuries, is in stable condition and is cooperating with investigators.

Captain Oteh added that the arrested suspects and the recovered exhibits are currently in military custody for detailed interrogation and further intelligence exploitation.

But will they face justice or like in many previous cases be freed on “bail” while the case drags for years in court?
