Troops have arrested a suspected terrorist at a forward operating base in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, amid reports of internal clashes among armed groups in parts of the state.
Security sources said the suspect was apprehended at about 6:45 p.m. on April 16, 2026, by troops deployed at Forward Operating Base Afaka.
According to the sources, preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had fled a terrorist camp in Sabon Birni due to ongoing violent clashes between rival group leaders identified as Dogo Gide and Kabiru.
The sources added that the clashes were said to be taking place along the Kachia–Kagarko–Chikun local government areas corridor, an area known for recurring security challenges.
