The Sector 3 of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) says two persons planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for Boko Haram, 19-year-old Abubakar Mohammed (alias Garba) and 13-year-old Bana Modu, have surrendered.
According to the Chief Military Public Information-Ndjamena, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi said the surrender took place on Sunday in Monguno Government Area of Borno State.
“Instead of carrying out their mission, they decided to abandon their task, escape with the IEDs, and surrender to the MNJTF. Their decision was influenced by the MNJTF recently concluded Operation NASHRUL SALAM, a non-kinetic operation, and the sector’s engagement strategy with relevant sources, showcasing the effectiveness of psychological operations in the fight against terrorism.
“Items recovered from them include two IEDs, two mobile phones, and a sum of N53,000 only from Mohammed and Modu.
“This development underscores the MNJTF’s commitment to encouraging other terrorists hiding in the Lake Chad islands to come out, surrender, and lay down their arms, in a bid to achieve sustainable peace in the region.”
Col. Abdullahi reiterated that the MNJTF remained dedicated to its mission of restoring peace and normalcy to the Lake Chad Basin.
