Those arrested face charges including criminal activity, complicity, and participation in a criminal organization, as part of Niger’s ongoing efforts to combat transnational crime and terrorism.
According to the army’s monthly information bulletin, air and ground operations led to the seizure of a significant cache of weapons, including rifles, ammunition, sticks of dynamite, and detonators.
