Operation Lake Sanity 2: 69 Boko Haram Terrorists and Families Surrender to MNJTF in Cameroon and Niger

69 Boko Haram terrorists and their families have surrendered to the Multinational Joint Task Force authorities during the Operation Lake Sanity 2 in Cameroon and Niger in a fresh operation.Chief Military Public Information Officer, HQ MNJTF, Ndjamena Chad, Lt Col Abubakar Abdullahi, a combined maritime operation by Cameroonian and Nigerian forces on 6 July 2024 led to the surrender of 56 Boko Haram terrorists. He said this group included 13 adult men accompanied by 43 women and children.Abdullahi added that, on the same date, 12 family members of terrorists, including 5 women and 7 children, were rescued. Both the surrendered individuals and the rescued family members were handed over to the troops of Sector 1, Operation Hadin Kai, in Gamboru and Banki for further action.He said ,while on 1 July 2024, troops of Sector 4, Niger Republic, received 24-year-old Tijjani Muhammad, who surrendered with one AK-47 rifle, 4 magazines, and numerous 7.62mm rounds. He reported that he had escaped from a Boko Haram camp in Libye Soroa, driven by the current Operation Lake Sanity 2.The increasing number of surrenders significantly weakens the operational capability of Boko Haram and undermine the morale of their remaining fighters. Other terrorists are strongly urged to take advantage of the opportunity to lay down their arms and surrender to the authorities for lasting peace in the Lake Chad basin region.The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has successfully facilitated the surrender of more terrorists while rescuing others from hideouts between 1 and 6 July 2024www.twitter.com/spyetv
