Troops Kill 40 Boko Haram Terrorists, Destroy 6 Gun Trucks In Shootout by logtrend52(op): 7:45am On Mar 10, 2019
In continuation of Operation Yancin Tafki which was launched last month, troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force, comprising Air and Land Components from Chad, Cameroon, Niger Republic and Nigeria have for the second time in about 10 days, dealt a devastating blow on Boko Haram Terrorists.

A statement by Col Timothy Antigha, spokesman of MNJTF said “On Saturday night, Boko Haram Terrorists operating along the Kamadougou River, between Niger and Nigeria, attacked troops location in Gueskerou, about 30 kilometers from Diffa in Niger Republic.

“However, troops showed valour and gallantry by fiercely defending their location and killing 27 terrorists, destroying 6 Gun Trucks and capturing several equipment, arms and ammunition.

“A few terrorists who escaped the fire fight were observed running towards Gashigar in Nigerian territory and were being pursued as at the time of issuing this Press Release.

In a related development, between 3 and 6 pm Saturday, MNJTF troops also confronted Boko Haram Terrorists around Abadam, in the general area of Mallam Fatori.

A summary of human and equipment casualty suffered by Boko Haram during the engagement is stated below:

23 Boko Haram terrorists killed, 20 numbers AK 47 Rifles recovered, 5 numbers Anti-Aircraft Guns recovered, another 12 numbers AK 47 Rifles, 1000 units of 7.62 MM Ammunition, 500 units of,12.7MM ammunition and 1 BHT suspect captured alive.

Others are 5 Motor Cycles, 1 motorcycle destroyed, 4 Gun trucks destroyed, 3 Gun trucks captured, 3 General Purpose Machine Guns captured, and 3 Hand Grenades captured

Col Antigha recalled that about 10 days ago, MNJTF troops also struck Boko Haram Terrorists in Dorou in Niger Republic, neutralizing many of them in the process.

“The MNJTF is therefore determined to intensify subsidiary operations such as raids, ambushes and fighting patrols among others until the last stronghold of Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin is neutralized”, he said.

This Boko Haram issue is a way of Embezzling money that will never end by the Military Chiefs. When Common Cameroonian and Chad Soldiers can contain them. It's very easy to smoke Boko Haram out but they just don't want to.
