It stated that troops, acting on credible intelligence, intercepted a red 14-tyre trailer laden with suspicious consignments along the Nguru–Gashua road in Yobe at about 7:40 a.m.

“The vehicle was later moved to a secured location and carefully offloaded. On inspection at about 9:00 p.m. same day, troops discovered 700 bags of NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer used in making IEDs, 27 cartons of assorted drugs, and nine cartons of normal saline solution, all concealed beneath bundles of fabric materials,” the statement said.
