Nigerian troops stop weapons smuggling from Libya to Boko Haram

The soldiers from the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) Sector 4 successfully intercepted a significant shipment of weapons.

This task force, made up of troops from various countries, including Nigeria, worked together to prevent a large delivery of arms from reaching Boko Haram, an extremist group operating in the region.

The interception of this shipment marks a notable achievement in the ongoing efforts to combat terrorism and ensure the safety and security of the people living in the affected areas.

The soldiers demonstrated their commitment and dedication to their mission by effectively thwarting the attempted smuggling of weapons, which could have posed a serious threat to the stability of the region.

These weapons were supposed to go to Bakura, a leader of one part of Boko Haram, a group known for violence in the Lake Chad area. The interception happened in Niger near the border with Niger Republic and Chad.

This operation was a big success in intelligence. It happened during the weekend in the northern area of Nguigmi.

The weapons that were seized include 6 AK-47 rifles, 11 magazines, and 50 rounds of bullets.

An expert in countering intelligence shared that these weapons came from Libya and were being moved through illegal channels. This situation shows how illegal arms trade can make the region more unstable.
