Troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force, MNJTF, have rescued Gambo Genevieve, a senior Cameroonian government official, and five other abducted persons during an operation in the Lake Chad region.
Mrs Genevieve, Head of Service at the Department of Physical Education in Logone and Chari, Cameroon, was rescued along with the others after MNJTF troops responded to a distress call from locals in the villages of Gangawa and Kangaleri in the Gogolom area, Division of Mora.
The MNJTF troops engaged the terrorists, who fled, abandoning their captives.
The rescued victims are currently undergoing medical evaluation to ensure their well-being.
In a separate operation, MNJTF troops stationed in Sector 3, Mongunu, intercepted a key Boko Haram logistics supplier, Babagana Zaninu, in Gubio.
Zaninu was apprehended with a Toyota pickup truck loaded with food items, illicit drugs and other supplies intended for Boko Haram militants.
The seized supplies included soft drinks, sugar, and flour, which were meant to sustain the terrorists.
Zaninu confessed during interrogation that he had purchased the items from the Gubio market and planned to deliver them to Gazabure Village, a known Boko Haram stronghold.
