Troops of the Joint Task Force North East Operation Hadin Kai arrested Abdulrazak Muhammad, a Ghanaian, at a checkpoint along the Damaturu-Potiskum road in Yobe State on April 3.
He had no valid ID, 3 mobile phones without SIM cards, a notebook, and some foreign currency (3 Ghanaian cedis and 50 pesewas).
Muhammad gave conflicting accounts of his nationality (Ghana, Mali, Nigeria) and said he's a student in Ghana, but was unclear about his destination and travel purpose.
He's in custody for further investigation to determine his identity, movements, and security implications.
