The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) says its Sectors 3 and 4 troops have arrested more than 900 suspected family members and collaborators of Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists.
This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday by Lt.-Col. Kamarudeen Adegoke, the MNJTF Chief Military Public Information Officer in N’Djamena Chad.
According to Adegoke, the infighting by the Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorist groups, as well as the effects of the MNJTF and other national operations bombardment, especially the effects of the air strikes, had set off their movement.
He noted that there had been continuous movements of large bodies of people from the Sambisa forests to the Lake Chad basin within the last one month.
