An arms store believed to
be owned by suspected Boko Haram insurgents have been captured by soldiers from
Chad.
The Chadians troops had
on Saturday launched an offensive against the insurgents in the Goje-Chadian
area of Sambisa forest, a stronghold of Boko Haram.
The operation, led by
Chadian President Idriss Déby, lasted for hours with the soldiers clearing the
insurgents off the area.
Déby is a former chief of
Chadian army. Military sources in the
area revealed that the arms store is the largest owned by Boko Haram.
Commenting on the
operation, Deby tweeted: “In Baga-Sola, I visited soldiers injured this
afternoon during the operations launched against the Boko Haram enlightened.
They are proud to have accomplished a sacred mission in the service of their
dear homeland.”

store,” one of the sources said.
