The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) is intensifying its operations to eradicate the remaining Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP in specific locations within the Lake Chad basin.

MNJTF Chief Military Public Information Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, disclosed this in a statement issued earlier today, May 1, 2024.

“Residents of North East Nigeria and the Far North of Cameroon might observe an increased presence of multinational troops and equipment. This surge is designed to bolster the efforts of various national operations and eradicate terrorists and their enclaves within the MNJTF’s Areas of Operations,” he said.

“Therefore, the public should not panic by these movements, but to offer support to the troops. The MNJTF is determined to cleanse the Lake Chad basin of all terrorists, thereby ensuring the safety and security of the region, ultimately ensuring a safer and more secure environment for everyone,” Lt.-Col. Abubakar Abdullahi further said.
