Troops of the Nigerian Army intercepted a large cache of logistics supplies concealed in a trailer in Yobe State on Tuesday.
In a statement shared by the Nigerian Army on Saturday, its Media Information Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, revealed that the consignment was reportedly billed for the Niger Republic, a move suggesting cross-border terrorist supply networks.
“Acting on credible intelligence, troops under Operation DESERT SANITY IV, on 16 September, 2025 at about 0740 hours (7:40am), while conducting snap checks along the Nguru–Gashua road, intercepted a red 14-tyre trailer laden with suspicious consignments,” the statement read in part.
Troops moved the vehicle to a secure location and offloaded its contents. They found 700 bags of NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer, which serves as material for making IEDs, 27 cartons of assorted drugs, and nine cartons of normal saline solution, all cleverly concealed beneath bundles of fabric materials in the trailer.
Uba added that troops had earlier stopped two Sharon vehicles and another trailer carrying large quantities of fabrics and solar panels on that same axis that day.
“All drivers, motor boys and the recovered items are currently in custody, pending further investigation and the arrest of identified consignees and consignors,” Uba added.
He also urged members of the public to continue providing timely information to security forces to aid ongoing operations.
