Troops of Sector 3 under the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), have neutralized six terrorists in a daring counter ambush in Binduldul, Borno State, Nigeria.
It was learnt that the operation was carried out on the 20th of October 2023, to clear remnants of terrorists in its Areas of operation.
Confirming the killing, the Military Public Information Officer, MNJTF, N’djamena, Chad, Abubakar Abdullahi, a Lieutenant Colonel said during the operation, the troops recovered a substantial amount of arms, including 2 x PKT guns, 5 x AK47 rifles, 3 x AK47 Magazines, and 239 x rounds of ammunition of various calibers.

In a related development, on 17th October 2023, Bulama Bukar, a 23-year-old suspect, surrendered to troops in Gubio, Borno State.
Bukar claimed to be a 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 AK47 Rifle, 5 x Magazines, 44 x 7.62 millimeter Special Ammunition, and one motorcycle, alongside other items.
This surrender and the recovery of the cache of arms will undoubtedly motivate his other colleagues to lay down arms toward a more secure region.
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.
