The arrest was disclosed by security analyst Zagazola Makama on his X handle on Thursday.
According to security sources quoted by Makama, the suspect was apprehended at about 8 am on May 20 during a routine security check by troops at the C Company location in the Lawanti area of Baga.
Items reportedly recovered from the woman included four packs of ready-to-use supplementary food, two hijabs, and a wristwatch.
Preliminary investigations indicated that the suspect was allegedly transporting the items to her son, who is believed to be a member of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) operating within the Dumba general area.
