Army Arrests Suspected Terrorist Amid Armed Faction Clashes in Kaduna

Nigerian Army troops arrested a suspected terrorist at Forward Operating Base Afaka in Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on April 16, 2026. The operation began around 6:45 p.m. after intelligence pointed to criminal activity. Security sources say the suspect fled a camp in Sabon Birni following violent clashes between rival leaders, Dogo Gide and Kabiru. Those clashes have erupted along the Kachia–Kagarko–Chikun corridor, an area long beset by security challenges. The suspect remains in custody as investigators work to confirm his affiliations and gather further intelligence. Officials believe fractures within these armed groups could offer new opportunities to weaken their operations.
