The Nigerian Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has announced that the leader of the Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP) terrorist group has been arrested by men of the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS).

The statement reads: “Troops are targeting the leadership of these groups to ensure they pose no further threat to the safety and security of citizens.
“Significantly, on 29 Nov 23, at Tarum Village located on the outside of Bauchi Metropolis in Bauchi State.
