Troops of Joint Task Force North-East ‘Operation Haɗin Kai’, have destroyed terrorists’ logistics and weakened their fighting capacity in the North-East region.
Theatre Commander, of the Task Force, Major-General Christopher Musa, while addressing newsmen in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, attributed the mass surrendering of Boko Haram and Islamic States West Africa Province, ISWAP, terrorists to the system adopted by the military.
He added that the military was able to block the supply of food, fuel and other logistics to the terrorists, which made life difficult for them, noting that the death of Abubakat Shekau broke the strength of the Boko Haram group, coupled with the supremacy battle between them and ISWAP.
The Theatre Commander said the new military equipment propelled the troops to intensify their kinetic efforts.
Musa also explained the reason why the Multi-national Joint Task Force, MNJTF, was engaged, which blocked the terrorists’ exits in the troops contributing countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger republic.
He added that the effect of the rainy season and the floods made the axis very untenable, forcing the terrorists to either surrender or die.
