The troops of Sector 3 under the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) have neutralised six terrorists in a daring counter-ambush in Binduldul, Borno State, Northeast Nigeria.
The operation, according to the Military Public Information Officer, MNJTF N’djamena, Chad, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, was carried out on October 20, 2023, as part of MNJTF’s commitment to clearing remnants of terrorists in its areas of operation.
During the operation, the troops recovered a substantial amount of arms, including 2 x PKT guns, 5 x AK 47 rifles, 3 x AK 47 magazines, and 239 x rounds of ammunition of various calibres. The seizure, according to the statement, has dealt a heavy blow to the terrorist network and significantly disrupted their activities in the area.
Sadly, two brave soldiers sustained injuries during the operation but are in stable condition and are receiving medical attention.
In a related development, on October 17, 2023, Bulama Bukar, a 23-year-old suspect, surrendered to troops in Gubio, Borno State. Bukar claimed to be the commander of Boko Haram, located at Camp Tafkin Chadi in Gilima village of Abadam Local Government. His voluntary surrender was facilitated by the Borno State government effort.
Upon surrendering, Bulama Bukar handed over one AK 47 Rifle, 5 x Magazines, 44 x 7.62-millimeter special ammunition, and one motorcycle, among other items.
The Force Commander, Major General Ibrahim Sallau Ali, commended the bravery and dedication of troops in the successful execution of these operations, adding that MNJTF remains committed to working closely with local authorities and the international community to restore peace and security in the Lake Chad basin region.
