Nigerian military
has countered claims that Cameroonian troops were responsible for the
elimination of some terrorists in a cross border raid in Nigeria last week.
A tweet from the
handle of the Nigerian Defence Headquarters states, “There was no raid
whatsoever by Cameroun or any foreign forces in any part of Nigeria’s territory
in pursuit of terrorists as claimed in some reports allegedly quoting Cameroon
military authorities."
“All operations
ongoing in the environs of Konduga and all associated border locations within
the country are completely being undertaken by Nigerian troops.” The statement
asserted
The Cameroonian
army has yesterday claimed credit for the killing of Boko Harams dreaded
Abubakar Shekau. The Cameroun authorities have been showing the photographs of
the slain Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau to the public in Cameroun.
The army claimed
that he was killed during a cross border raid, deep inside Nigeria by the
Cameroon military, yesterday Sunday 21st Sep.
However, while the
Nigerian military is yet to officially name some of the top Boko Haram
terrorists killed in recent operations, more suspected insurgents have
continued to surrender themselves to the troop.
Another set of
terrorists surrendered to troops at Kawuri yesterday. Military officials
confirmed that those that have surrendered have been taken into custody for
necessary security debriefing.
