Chad Lays Hand on Ammunitions Belonging to Boko Haram

PMNEWS reports that a large weapons cache including guns, rockets and ammunition in a house in the capital N’Djamena have been seized by security forces in Chad.

The weapons, buried under the courtyard of the house occupied by suspected members of Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram in the eastern neighbourhood of Guinebor, were destined for northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has launched a wave of attacks in recent weeks despite suffering heavy military defeats this year.



It was learnt that the weapons were that of Baana Fanaye, Boko Haram’s logistics chief for northern Cameroon and Chad, who was arrested in a raid by Chadian police last month.

Chad has played a leading role in a regional offensive against the armed group this year, in parallel with forces from Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger.
