Troops of the Nigerian Army, working with the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, have arrested a suspected collaborator of the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, at Geidam Market in Yobe State.
The arrest was contained in a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Sunday night.
According to the report, the suspect was arrested at about 1:30 p.m. on October 24 while in possession of a mini truck in Geidam Local Government Area of the state.
Preliminary interrogation reportedly indicated that the suspect had been receiving and delivering money collected from residents through forced levies imposed by terrorists.

The suspect is currently in military custody for further investigation and necessary action.
