Troops of Multinational Joint Task Force under Sector 2 based in Bagasola, Chad, have neutralized a notorious Boko Haram kingpin in an ambush operation conducted as part of Operation Lake Sanity 2 just as several efforts to smuggle arms and other logistics materials to terrorists were thwarted.

“The ambush led to the capture of 2 motorcycles, one Baofeng radio, 4 bags of millet, and various miscellaneous items. “The vehicle, driven by Mr Baba Ado, carrying passengers and empty baskets towards Daban Masara, was found 6km east of Burwarti. “Adding to these successes, on 13 May 2024, the Nigerien Gendarmerie in Sector 4 MNJTF located in Diffa, Niger Republic, seized petroleum products concealed within sacks of maize cereals.“This operation, conducted about 5km from the main road on the outskirts of Diffa town, thwarted an attempt to smuggle these products past security checkpoints, products that were destined for terrorist groups operating within the Lake Chad Basin.
