Terrorists killed in Borno as result of massive airstrikes

Late Thursday, the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) and Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) collaborated on massive airstrikes against the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP).

TELEVISION NIGERIAN has learned that several terrorists were killed in the villages of Abbaganaram, Bukar Mairam, and Jubularam in the nearby Marte district of Gamboru, Borno.

ISWAP is currently evacuating dead bodies, according to counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama.

Despite Boko Haram/constant ISWAP’s attacks, troops remain unyielding on the battlefield.

During an operational visit to the MNJTF’s Headquarters 3 Battalion at Gamboru Ngala, a town on the Nigeria-Cameroon border, Force Commander Maj Gen Abdul Khalifah Ibrahim praised the security operatives.

MNJTF spokesman Col Muhammad Dole said in a statement from force headquarters in Ndjamena, Chad’s capital, that “the FC commended the Commander and his men for their hard work in holding their ground in spite of the repeated attacks by the BHTs/ISWAP.”

To eliminate terrorists near Lake Chad’s shores, the commander called for greater cooperation among troops, Civilian JTF, Vigilante, and hunters. He urged them to be more focused and to assist their commanding officer in clearing out the remaining insurgents.

MNJTF is a military cooperation effort between Nigerian, Cameroonian, Chadian, and Nigerien forces in the Lake Chad area to combat terrorist activities along the countries’ borders.
