Troops of the Nigerian Army 7 division in Maiduguri have arrested Nathaniel Jeremiah, a soldier, for illegal possession of ammunition at the Borno state Express bus terminal.
Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, on Monday, reported that Jeremiah was on a welfare pass and heading to Adamawa state when he was arrested.
The publication added that security operatives found 89 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition concealed in Jeremiah’s bag during a routine search at the terminal.
Makama said the soldier was immediately taken into custody for interrogation, while the ammunition was handed over to the relevant authorities for further investigation.
