The Force Commander, Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), Major General Gold Chibuisi has vowed not to leave Lake Chad Island for terrorists to operate.
He gave this hints during an operational visit to Blangoua in Cameroon, Bagasola and Bibi in Chad Republic which fall under Sectors 1 and 2 respectively.
Major General Chibuisi, who on Friday, 9th June, 2023, made it clear that his visit was to assess the nautical capacity of MNJTF; urging the troops to remain steadfast in their support of the operation to consolidate recent gains recorded during Operation Lake Sanity.
Since its inception, Operation Lake Sanity has significantly weakened the capacity of Boko Haram to plan and operate in the Lake Chad Islands known as “Tumbus”.
General Chibuisi encouraged troops to consolidate on the gains recorded and ensure that no Lake Chad Island is left for terrorists to operate.
The operational visit to Cameroon and Chad came 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, to which MNJTF has been instrumental in bringing about peace and stability to the region.
It is expected that the visit would bolster the confidence of troops and demonstrate his support for their ongoing operations as General Chibuisi’s has vowed not to leave no Lake Chad Island for terrorists.
The visit, according to the Chief Military Public Information Officer,
Ndjamena, Chad, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi in a statement would reinforce the commitment of the MNJTF to bring peace and stability to the region and to restore the confidence of the local population.
