Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the suspect, Alhaji Ibrahim, 42, was arrested around 3:05 p.m. on May 25 after intelligence reports linked him to alleged communication with terrorist members.
The suspect is said to be a vigilante attached to Government Girls Unity College (GGUC) in Damaturu. He is from Ahajiri village in Maisandari Ward of the local government area.

Sources also said the suspect is currently being held by troops of sector 2 for further investigation.
