Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) Troops stationed in Sector 3 Mongunu, along with intelligence operatives and the Civilian Joint Task Force, have effectively disrupted a Boko Haram / ISWAP Terrorist logistics supply network at Cross Kauwa Market in Mongunu, Borno State.
The apprehended logistics supply network, consisting of Mr Modu Gana, Mamman Saleh, and Babagana Muktar, was intercepted while in transit to deliver provisions to the terrorists in their hideouts.
According to a press statement obtained by News Central and signed by Lieutenant Colonel Olaniyi Osoba, the Chief Military Information Officer HQ MNJTF N’djamena, a syndicate admitted to being a key logistics provider for Boko Haram.
It read, “The syndicate, who confessed to being a key logistics provider for the terrorist group, were found to be in possession of a cache of items intended for the terrorists.
“Among the seized items were a techno phone, six goats, one carton of Maggi, a collection of charms, bags of Guinea Corn and Millet, grounded corn, metal bowls, a calculator, a wristwatch, perfume, prayer beads, 36 empty sac bags and various other supplies crucial for sustaining the terrorist activities.
“The successful operation not only disrupted the supply chain of the terrorist group but also dealt a significant blow to their operations in the region.
“The members of the syndicate are currently undergoing intense interrogation to extract further intelligence that could lead to more arrests and dismantling of the terrorist logistics supply network in the Lake Chad Region.
“The MNJTF Troops’ swift action and collaboration with intelligence operatives have once again demonstrated their commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the safety and security of the region.
