A statement by the Chief Military Information Officer MNJTF, Lt-Col Olaniyi Osoba said troops acting on credible intelligence, launched a tactical ambush, neutralising the threat before the terrorists could wreak havoc on innocent civilians.

Lt-Col Osoba said the troops who positioned themselves tactically along the terrorists’ movement path, engaged the hoodlums as they emerged from a forested area on motorcycles, using an alternative route.

According to the statement, on sighting the troops, the terrorists attempted to flee but were met with a heavy barrage of gunfire.

“This decisive engagement forced them to abandon their weapons and motorcycles, disrupting their plan to unleash violence in the region,” he said.

Osoba added that the troops following the firefight combed the area and recovered an arms cache including two AK-47 rifles, 51 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, two magazines, 61 rounds of 7.62 NATO ammunition, and various contraband items, including marijuana, tramadol, and a cigarette pack.

He reiterated that the swift action of the MNJTF not only thwarted a potential attack but also reinforced the ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security in the Lake Chad region.

The MNJTF spokesman added that the operation further highlights the Task Force’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of citizens within its area of responsibility.

According to the statement, troops have since intensified their patrols in the general area to prevent any resurgence of terrorist activities, demonstrating their readiness to counter any threats and maintain stability across the region.
