The Multinational Joint Task Force, MNJTF, Sector 3, Monguno, has disclosed that two more Boko Haram fighters laid down their arms in the region.
A statement signed on Sunday by the MNJTF’s Chief of Military Public Information, Abubakar Abdullahi, said the two fighters, identified as Ahmed Isiaka and Adam Muhammed, aged 18 and 17 respectively, hail from Kolloram, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria.
“They relinquished various items, including 250 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 50 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, and a 9mm PARA round, among other personal belongings,” the statement added.
On March 26, the MNJTF had reported the surrender of two terrorist commanders.
These events underscored the effectiveness of the diverse non-kinetic measures the MNJTF has implemented to promote safety and security in Lake Chad basin region impacted by Boko Haram and other terrorist activities.
“The MNJTF is committed to restoring peace and facilitating the return of normalcy to the affected region,” the statement added.
