Sources disclosed that the suspect had allegedly gained attention on social media, particularly TikTok, where he was known for sharing live videos believed to be linked to activities of armed groups operating in the area.
Items reportedly recovered from him include an AK-47 rifle, multiple mobile phones, and substances suspected to be cannabis.
Military authorities said the suspect is currently in custody as investigations continue into his alleged involvement in banditry and possible connections with criminal networks terrorising parts of Kaduna State and neighbouring communities.
