A Federal High Court in Abuja has remanded Muhammad Ibrahim, a Nigerien citizen, at the Kuje Correctional Centre following his arraignment by the Department of State Services (DSS). Ibrahim faces a four-count charge involving terrorism-related activities, unlawful possession and transportation of ammunition, failure to disclose gun-running information, and identity fraud.

The DSS alleges that in February 2025, Ibrahim transported 170 rounds of AK-47 live ammunition, concealed in a cooler, to Dankama village in Katsina State. The charges further claim he provided logistical support to terrorist groups and failed to report gun-running activities to security officers. Additionally, he is accused of fraudulently obtaining a Nigerian National Identity Management Commission identity card.

Justice Salim Ibrahim has adjourned the case, with the trial scheduled to commence on November 16, 2026.
