Chadian troops led by President Idriss Debby have crushed Boko Haram, freeing Nigerian soldiers in the process.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the Chadian troops have again dealt a major blow on Boko Haram insurgents, following the killing of 100 of its members in Magumeri, a local government in the northern part of Borno.
This burgeoning online news platform understands that Borno State, northeast Nigeria, is the major hotbed of the Boko Haram crisis in Nigeria.
According to West Africa Reporters, Nigerian soldiers in the Boko Haram captivity were freed on Sunday, April 5. The report quoted sources from the Lake Chad region as saying that the Chadian soldiers are hitting the Boko Haram insurgents hard.
Boko Haram members fleeing
The report said the insurgents were fleeing and that President Idriss Déby has been moving around in a chopper to monitor Boko Haram destruction. Deby ordered the operation after the terror group killed over 90 soldiers in Boma nearly two weeks ago.
The Chadian President called it the worst attack ever on the country’s military and vowed to ensure the crush of Boko Haram around the Lake Chad region. There are over 20 villages in the area.
Top Boko Haram commander arrested by Chadian Troops
On Saturday, the Chadian soldiers destroyed the sect’s bases, killed several insurgents and recovered hundreds of weapons. It was learned that a top Boko Haram commander was also arrested during the onslaught carried out by the Chadian troops.
