Troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) operating under Sector 1 in Mora, Cameroon, have successfully repelled a coordinated attack by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists on the military base at Darak, killing 10 extremists. The decisive action demonstrates MNJTF’s unwavering commitment to defeating terrorists and safeguarding regional security.
According to a statement by the Chief Military Information Officer MNJTF, Lt.-Col. Olaniyi Osoba, the attack began at dawn on 18 December 2024, with the terrorists launching assaults from multiple directions at the Darak military base. However, troops swiftly engaged the terrorists in a fierce gun battle, killing six terrorists and forcing the others to flee with varying degrees of gunshot wounds.
Lt.-Col. Osoba disclosed that five soldiers unfortunately sustained injuries during the encounter and are currently responding to medical treatment. In a follow-up operation, troops laid ambush for the wounded fleeing terrorists along their regrouping route in Mazogo, a village located between Zamba and Djibirilli, eliminating four of them and recovering assorted food items belonging to the terrorists.
“The operation brings the total number of terrorists neutralized to 10,” Lt.-Col. Osoba said. The successful repulsion of the attack and the subsequent neutralization of the terrorists demonstrate the effectiveness of MNJTF’s operational strategy and its commitment to safeguarding the region from terrorist threats.
