The military said that Jamilu and Garba were nabbed by the 93 Battalion, 13 Brigade attached to Operation Lafiya Dole on Saturday in Gishiri village, Ibbi Local Government Area of Taraba State.
According to the army, the suspects, who were arrested on Saturday, confessed to have joined the terrorists since 2015 and were boat operators for the sect.
