The Nigerian military has declared a notorious terror kingpin wanted and placed a ₦30 million bounty on him following his reappearance in January 2026. This development follows a prior military announcement in October 2025, during which troops from Operation Udo Ka reported the capture of the same individual in Imo State.

The discrepancy between the military's initial claim of capture and the suspect's subsequent resurfacing on 28 January 2026 has prompted the current search operation. The military is now actively seeking information leading to the arrest of the kingpin to address the security threat posed by his continued activity.
