Women now key to terrorists’ logistics, intelligence network – Security expert

Daily Post· 1h ago· 1 min read

A security expert and former Joint Task Force (JTF) commander, Dr. Isma’il Tanko Wudilawa, has argued that terrorists now capitalize on the vulnerability of women to achieve their targets in northern Nigeria. He revealed that the groups are increasingly exploiting women to transport supplies, gather intelligence, and support their operations.

Speaking with DAILY POST, Wudilawa said military offensives have forced many terrorists into remote hideouts across the region, forcing them to depend largely on civilian networks, including women, for logistics and communication.

He stated further that women are now being used to transport food, clothing, medicines, weapons, and sometimes even other women to terrorists hiding in forests.

DAILY POST recalls recent arrests of women allegedly linked to terrorist logistics in Borno State.
