Troops nab suspected Boko Haram terrorists’ Fuel Suppliers

The Quick Reinforcement Force (QRF) of 251 Battalion,  7 Div Gar on routine checks arrested a truck loaded with 25 jerry cans of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and other goods cleverly covered and concealed at Molai check point, outskirts of Maiduguri at about 8.00am today Tuesday.


The driver of the vehicle, Muhammadu Adamu, claimed ignorance of the contents of the vehicle and called the owner of the goods, Tijjani Gambo to explain. He too denied supplying terrorists fuel and other items, rather he claimed to be a mere trader that supplies goods to customers in Damboa based on demand.




However, preliminary investigation revealed that he has been sending PMS and other goods through the same route at regular intervals without  an identifiable corresponding recipient in Damboa as alleged.

Although investigations are still ongoing, it is suspected that it could be the means through which he had been supplying the terrorists with dire logistics  in Sambisa forest.
