The Force Commander, Multi-National Joint Task Force, (MNJTF), Major General Gold Chibuisi has expressed his determination not to leave Lake Chad Island
The Force Commander made the commitment when he paid an operational visit to Blangoua in Cameroon, Bagasola and Bibi in Chad Republic which are sectors 1 and 2 respectively on Friday.
Maj. Gen. Chibuisi, who said that the purpose of the visit was to assess the nautical capacity of MNJTF, also urged troops under the Task Force to remain steadfast in their support of the operation to consolidate recent gains recorded during Operation Lake Sanity which has significantly weakened the capacity of Boko Haram to plan and operate in the Lake Chad Islands known as “Tumbus”.
The operational visit to Cameroon and Chad is coming a day after a similar visit to Mallam-Fatori in Nigeria, Diffa and Bosso in Niger Republic which is in line with ongoing efforts to defeat terrorism and insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin. Security experts were of the view that the MNJTF had been instrumental in bringing about peace and stability to the region.
