According to security sources, troops of the 156 Task Force Battalion were swiftly deployed after receiving reports from local informants about unusual activities around the area.

During the operation, the troops arrested two civilians believed to be providing support to Boko Haram elements operating within the region.
Items recovered from the suspects included electrical cables, which security operatives suspect may be linked to terrorist logistics and support operations.

The development highlights ongoing efforts by the military to dismantle local support networks aiding insurgent groups in the North-East, particularly in vulnerable communities around Mainok and its environs.
