70 Terrorists Killed By Joint Task Force In Lake Chad Basin

423

No fewer than 70 terrorists have been reportedly decimated in a recent aerial bombardment by a multinational Joint Taskforce in the Lake Chad Basin region.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Chief Military Public Information Officer HQ MNJTF Ndjamena, Chad, Lt. Col. Abubakar Abdullahi, on Monday.

He noted that the aerial bombardment, which is part of the task force’s Operation Lake Sanity II, successfully obliterated terrorist camps situated on islets across the Cameroonian and Nigerian territories of Lake Chad, causing others to flee into Chad.

He said: “This action neutralised 70 terrorists and dismantled five camps, highlighting the efficacy of MNJTF’s operational strategies and the robust collaboration with the Chadian Armed Forces.

“The MNJTF extends its appreciation to the Chadian Armed Forces for their invaluable cooperation and support in the fight against terrorism. We also acknowledge the vital contributions from other troop-contributing countries, including Operation Emergence 4 Cameroon, Operation Hadin Kai Nigeria, and Sector 4 Niger, which were instrumental in the success of Operation Lake Sanity II.”

He further explained that the task force also destroyed eight vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs) in Arinna Ciki and two ammunition bunkers northeast of Malam Fatori.

“We will continue to work tirelessly with our partners to achieve and sustain this critical goal of eradicating terrorism and restoring peace to the Lake Chad Basin.”
