Personnel of the National Gendarmerie, deployed to Hilé-Alifa under Sector 1 of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), have arrested a suspected terrorist logistics courier during a patrol in the Dougoum Silio area of Logone. The Joint Task Force disrupted the movement of a consignment concealed in containers designed to resemble petroleum-product containers. The arrest and recovery represent a significant disruption to the logistics architecture supporting terrorist elements operating around the Lake Chad Basin. The Force Commander has consequently urged all sectors to intensify patrols and clearance operations aimed at disrupting terrorist networks, securing the Lake Chad Basin and strengthening regional stability. The operation also sends a broader warning to terrorist logistics networks that attempts to conceal or disguise the movement of weapons and ammunition will remain subject to detection and interception as security forces deepen surveillance and cross-border co-operation.
