How Chadian president led soldiers to capture Boko Haram’s ‘arms store’ in Sambisa

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.

The operation was targeted at Boko haram, to totally eliminate 76 Boko Haram terrorists in “Operation Boma Anger”.

The operation was in retaliation for an attack by Boko haram which took the lives of 92 Chadian soldiers.

Mr. Idris Deby, following the attack, vowed that he will not accept defeat until justice is served. “I will not accept defeat,” he said.

Many across the continent have applauded him for this brave gesture, to lead the forefront to counter-terrorism.

Military sources said 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.”
