Most wanted terrorist, aide captured without gunfire – FG

The Federal Government announced that improved coordination among security and intelligence agencies resulted in the capture of one of the world's most wanted terrorists, Mamuda, and his chief of staff without any gunfire. Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja ahead of Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary.

Idris stated that the capture highlighted the growing effectiveness of intelligence sharing and coordination among the country's security agencies under President Bola Tinubu's administration. "During the time of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have seen greater coordination between security agencies and intelligence services," Idris said.

The suspects, who had attracted bounties from the United States and Europe, were apprehended without any gunfire. Idris emphasized that the capture demonstrated the growing efficiency of the armed forces and intelligence services in confronting criminal elements. He also mentioned that the government is strengthening the military by increasing divisions, improving equipment, and enhancing welfare for armed forces personnel.
