Recall how terrorists attacked the Kuje correctional center a few weeks ago, resulting in the deaths of no less than six persons, among them an officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

Top Boko Haram members in the institution were provided the opportunity to flee by the terrorists, who also made way for other offenders.

Four persons have reportedly been arrested for providing terrorists with information about the whereabouts and movements of troops near Abuja, according to reports by PRNigeria on Sunday.

The criminals, according to the reports, are already in the custody of a security agency.

An intelligence operative who spoke with the media platform said the suspects were arrested with sophisticated equipment including Walkie-Talkies, revolvers, knives, amulets, and old Chinese-made phones, that do not use data.

The source, who was part of the raid that led to the arrest of the informants, said discreet investigations are ongoing to confirm their leaders and financiers.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the activities of the terrorist collaborators were responsible for the recent attacks around the vicinity of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, the source added.

“The suspects are currently being interrogated to determine if they are working for terrorist groups or armed bandits or other elements with ulterior motives.

“I can authoritatively inform you that, while the military has deliberately refused to provide updates since the attack on Kuje Prison, to last attacks on troops at the Bwari and Zuma Rock axis, the joint security task force has so far killed more than 70 armed criminals, including dangerous Kuje prison escapees and terrorists,” PRNigeria quoted the source as saying.
