The Nigerian Army says the Operation Positive Identification in the North-East has started yielding positive results with the arrest of five key terrorists suppliers and fighters.
The Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Operation Lafiya Dole, Colonel Ado Isa said that the troops had intensified search for and arrest of all suspected criminal elements that were currently roaming parts of the North-East.
He said that the Theatre Command had enjoined members of the public to always carry valid means of identification such as National Identification Card when moving or passing through Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States.
Isa said the operation was based on credible information that some of the fleeing criminals were hibernating in some towns and villages of Borno and Yobe States in particular and North-East in general.
