DSS, forest guards intercept large consignment of medical supplies allegedly destined for wounded ISWAP in Borno

The Department of State Services (DSS) in Borno State, in collaboration with forest guards, has intercepted a large consignment of medical supplies allegedly intended for fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), following recent intelligence-led counter-terrorism operations in the North-East. Security sources said the interception was made on Friday, June 5, 2026 in Kaga Local Government Area during a coordinated operation along a suspected supply route used by insurgent logistics networks operating within and around forested areas in the state. According to the sources, the seized items include substantial quantities of pain relief medications, anti-malaria injections, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical products, alongside basic consumables believed to be part of battlefield resupply materials. The sources further indicated that the consignment was linked to suspected attempts to replenish ISWAP fighters who reportedly suffered heavy casualties and disruptions in recent intelligence-led operations involving US-AFRICOM  and Nigerian security forces. Although officials did not provide operational details, they described the interception as part of intensified efforts to dismantle insurgent logistics chains, particularly those enabling the movement of medical and material support to remote enclaves. It was gathered that preliminary investigations suggest the supplies were being moved discreetly in small batches to avoid detection by security patrols operating along forest corridors. The intercepted materials have since been taken into custody for forensic examination. The post DSS, forest guards intercept large consignment of medical supplies allegedly destined for wounded ISWAP in Borno appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
