Troops Intercept Over 400 Starlink Devices Used by Terrorists in North-East — Sector 2 Commander By: Zagazola Makama The Commander of Sector 2, Operation HADIN KAI, Brig.-Gen. Beyidi Martins, says troops have intercepted and seized more than 400 Starlink communication devices allegedly used by Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists across the North-East theatre. Martins disclosed this while briefing defence correspondents on ongoing strangulation and intelligence-driven operations aimed at dismantling terrorist logistics and communication networks within the sector’s area of responsibility. He said the recovered Starlink terminals, linked to Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, were intercepted during sustained operations across Sambisa Forest, the Timbuktu Triangle and other terrorist enclaves in the North-East. According to him, the seizures formed part of broader efforts by troops to disrupt the logistics lifelines sustaining terrorist activities in the region. “The lifeblood of terrorist activities is logistics resupply, and we are deliberately denying them freedom to move supplies, communication equipment, fuel and other operational items across the theatre,” he said. The commander explained that the asymmetric nature of the insurgency had enabled terrorists to rely heavily on civilian supply chains and collaborators for movement of food, fuel, drugs, communication gadgets and motorcycle spare parts into remote hideouts. He acknowledged that some members of the civilian population were voluntarily collaborating with terrorists, while others acted under coercion and intimidation. “There is a high level of collusion between some members of the civil populace and the terrorists. Some do it willingly, while others are forced through threats and coercion,” Martins stated. He disclosed that troops had successfully infiltrated several transport and logistics networks used by insurgents through intelligence operations targeting transporters, traders and supply syndicates operating across the region. According to him, troops have arrested hundreds of logistics suppliers, couriers and collaborators linked to terrorist resupply operations. “It will interest you to know that arrests are made on a daily basis. So far, we have disrupted over 400 logistics-related cases and networks supporting terrorist operations,” he said. The commander added that troops had intercepted consignments of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), drugs, medical supplies, food items and spare parts suspected to be destined for terrorist camps. He noted that the seizures were made along major movement corridors stretching from Kano through Nguru and other routes leading into the Timbuktu Triangle, Sambisa Forest and adjoining enclaves. Martins further revealed that local livestock markets had also been exploited by insurgents to dispose of rustled animals and generate operational funds. To counter the trend, he said security forces, local authorities and market stakeholders had introduced livestock verification measures requiring proper identification of ownership before animals could be sold. “If animals are not properly identified, they will not be sold. Through that arrangement, we are tracking and disrupting their sources of financing,” he said. The commander stated that the ongoing strangulation operations had significantly weakened terrorist logistics chains and reduced their operational flexibility across the sector. He also disclosed that sustained military offensives and intelligence-driven operations had led to the surrender of several terrorists and members of their families within the area of responsibility. According to him,continuous pressure from troops had denied insurgents freedom of movement and disrupted their ability to sustain attacks on communities and security formations. Martins reaffirmed the commitment of sector 2 to intensifying offensive operations, intercepting terrorist supply routes and dismantling communication networks.

Arsenal coming out unscathed in this run is beyond words.

President @officialABAT’s comprehensive economic restructuring is rebuilding the pillars of Nigeria’s economy every state of the federation can depend on, the Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has said. He identified the outcome of the restructuring, aimed at reducing subnational dependence on the federal government, largely through fiscal reforms and increased allocations to states, as energy reliability, fiscal balance, tax reform, and a single digital gateway for investment, among others. Senator @KashimSM, who made the observation on Wednesday in Lafia during the Nasarawa Investment Summit 2026, noted that the ongoing transformation of subnational economies into stronger and more viable entities justifies the choice of states as the focal point of the reform agenda of the @officialABAT administration. “At the national level, we are rebuilding the pillars every state depends on: energy reliability, fiscal balance, tax reform, and a single digital gateway for investment. The ongoing power-sector reforms are opening new paths for state participation.
