The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) says its troops of Sectors 3 and 4 have apprehended more than 900 suspected family members and ollaborators of Boko Haram/ISWAP insurgents.
This is contained in a statement by the Chief Military Public Information Officer of the task force in Chad, Lt.-Col. Kama-rudeen Adegoke.
Adegoke said that the infighting by the Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorist groups, as well as effects of MNJTF and other national operations bombardment, especially effects of the air strikes, had triggered their movement.
He disclosed 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.
Adegoke explained that the emerging situation by the MNJTF troops of Sector 3 Nigeria started on March 5.
