News by : (Daily Sun) -

National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu confirmed the capture of Mahmud Muhammad Usman and Mahmud al-Nigeri during operations between May and July 2025.

The duo allegedly led Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi-Biladis Sudan, an Al-Qaeda-linked faction that split from Boko Haram in 2012.

“They jointly spearheaded multiple attacks on civilians, security forces, and critical infrastructure,“ Ribadu added about the arrested commanders.

Investigators connected Usman and al-Nigeri to ransom kidnappings that funded Ansaru’s operations across central and northwestern Nigeria.

Ribadu described the arrests as “one of the most significant achievements” in Nigeria’s 15-year fight against extremist networks.

Security analysts note the group retains operational bases in Kano despite sustained military pressure across Nigeria’s conflict zones. - AFP
