Troops of the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army and Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke have arrested two suspected terrorists in separate operations in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State. One of the suspects, 45-year-old Felix Myina, is believed to be a senior member of a kidnapping and banditry ring led by a wanted kingpin known as Yellow.
A Tecno phone was recovered from Myina at the time of his arrest, while another suspect, 26-year-old Abubakar Yusuf, linked to ISWAP, was intercepted while performing suspicious rituals near a known target area in Wukari. Items found on him included a dead chicken, nine rotten eggs, an animal horn, and a bottle containing a powdered substance and fresh meat.
