The Quick
Reinforcement Force (QRF) of 251 Battalion, 7 Div Gar on routine checks
arrested a truck loaded with 25 jerry cans of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and
other goods cleverly covered and concealed at Molai check point, outskirts of
Maiduguri at about 8.00am today Tuesday.
The driver of the
vehicle, Muhammadu Adamu, claimed ignorance of the contents of the vehicle and
called the owner of the goods, Tijjani Gambo to explain. He too denied
supplying terrorists fuel and other items, rather he claimed to be a mere
trader that supplies goods to customers in Damboa based on demand.
However, preliminary
investigation revealed that he has been sending PMS and other goods through the
same route at regular intervals without an identifiable corresponding
recipient in Damboa as alleged.
Although
investigations are still ongoing, it is suspected that it could be the means
through which he had been supplying the terrorists with dire logistics in
Sambisa forest.
