Troops of Hadin Kai of the Nigerian Army in the North East region of Nigeria have reportedly arrested a "high-profile terrorist spy and collaborator" identified as Bulama Suri.

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, in a statement on Thursday, who made this known in a statement on Thursday said Suri was arrested on July 11.

The statement noted that Suri was a resident of Gaulawa and Gwazari villages in the Kukawa and Konduga Local Government Areas of Borno State.

Buba stated that upon arrest, the troops recovered from the Lions of Islam items including food items and two cows.

"On 11 Jul 23, troops arrested a high-profile terrorist collaborator identified as Bulama Suri.
