“During the operation, items recovered include one AK47 rifle, one AK47 magazine, several ammunitions of the 7.62 MM special variant, 21 bicycles, one BHT uniform, 39 bags millet and two bags of beans.
“An intelligence analysis indicates that the items were being smuggled from the borders to Sambisa forest. It is believed the terrorists are stockpiling materials for the incoming month of Ramadan.
