Three individuals suspected of terrorism have been apprehended in a coordinated operation involving military troops and local vigilantes in the Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

According to security sources, the operation was initiated based on intelligence regarding the activities of suspected criminals in the forest region.
The arrested individuals are currently in custody and are undergoing preliminary investigations to ascertain their identities, affiliations, and potential involvement in terrorist activities.
