The soldier was identified as Lance Corporal Harrisson Friday,
“The hooded soldier hiding behind the mask to commit cybercrime has been apprehended in the ongoing cyber operations in support of Crocodile Smile VI,” the Army said.

The army said the annual exercise will for the first time have a cyber warfare component.
“This is the first-ever Cyberwarfare exercise to be conducted in the history of the African Armed Forces,” the army said in a statement.
