A statement by the Chief Military Public Information Officer, Lieutenant Colonel, Abubakar Abdullahi, and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA), said “The initial engagement occurred in Cameroon border community of Zigue on 15 April 2024, where an ambush by the MNJTF troops resulted in the elimination of one terrorist.
“The troops continued their operation on 22 April 2024, during an early morning encounter near the Cameroon-Nigerian border in Soueram, MNJTF troops neutralized an additional 2 Boko Haram terrorists.
“This operation led to the recovery of one PKM Machine Gun, one AK-47 rifle, 5 magazines, and 20 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition.”
