Troops of Sector 3 Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) deployed at Magumeri, Nigeria, conducted a proactive fighting patrol aimed at clearing the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in the region.
The operation led to the neutralization of one Boko Haram terrorist, significant recovery of arms and ammunition, and a remarkable step towards ensuring peace and stability in the area.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Military Public Information Officer – Ndjamena, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi said that during the operation, the troops uncovered and engaged a group of Boko Haram terrorists at Dugushewa Village, and pursued them as they attempted to flee, leading to the elimination of one Boko Haram insurgent.
The recovered items included one AK 47 rifle, four rounds of 7.62mm (Special) ammunition, and one magazine, among other personal items.
This substantial seizure significantly weakens the insurgents’ capability and disrupts their ability to carry out further acts of violence and terror.
The successful outcome of this patrol is a testament to the unwavering commitment and dedication of the Sector 3 troops in their operations.
“Their precision, bravery, and professionalism have once again demonstrated MNJTF competence in maintaining peace and security in the region.”
The Force Commander MNJTF, Maj Gen Ibrahim Sallau Ali has commended the troops of Sector 3 for their display of gallantry and extended his gratitude to the local communities for their continuous support and cooperation to rout the terrorists.
