Troops arrest female logistics supplier linked to Ado Aliero
Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a female logistics supplier believed to be working for notorious bandit kingpin Ado Aliero in Zamfara State.
According to military sources, the woman was apprehended during a targeted operation aimed at cutting off supply chains that sustain bandit groups in the North-West. She was reportedly responsible for procuring food, fuel, and other essential items for Aliero’s fighters.
Security operatives disclosed that intelligence reports had long tracked her activities, linking her directly to several attacks coordinated by the gang. Items recovered from her included food supplies, communication gadgets, and cash suspected to be proceeds from ransom payments.
The arrest is seen as a major breakthrough in ongoing counter-banditry operations, as it disrupts the logistics lifeline of Aliero’s network. Military officials assured that she will be handed over to appropriate authorities for further investigation and prosecution.
Residents have welcomed the news, urging security forces to intensify efforts in dismantling support systems that enable banditry to thrive.
