Gusau noted that Zulum was a member of the Lake Chad Basin Governors’ Forum established with support of the Federal Government and UN Security Council Committee on counter terrorism.
The Borno State Government said it had
donated patrol vehicles to members of Cameroonian vigilante to enhance
the fight against insurgents in border communities of the state.
Mr Isa Gusau, the Special Adviser on Public Relation and Media Strategy
to Gov. Babagana Zulum, made the disclosure in a statement on Monday in
Maiduguri.
Gusau dismissed as misleading reports indicating that the vehicles
donated by the state government to 150 members of the Cameroonian
vigilante violated Nigeria’s sovereignty and military protocols.
He explained that representatives of the government presented vehicles
to the Cameroonian vigilante in concert with the Headquarters, 5 Brigade
Nigerian Army Cell of the Multi National Joint Task Force (MNJTF),
Damasak, Mobbar Local Government Area of the state.
Gusau noted that Zulum was a member of the Lake Chad Basin Governors’
Forum established with support of the Federal Government and UN Security
Council Committee on counter terrorism.
He added that the gesture was in line with the forum spirit to enhance cooperation on cross border security among member states.
Gusau said: “Gov. Zulum operational arrangements with the 150
Cameroonian vigilante happened with full involvement of the Nigerian
Army’s component in the MNJTF currently fighting Boko Haram in eight
regions affected by the insurgents’ attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad
and Niger Republics.
“The Cameroonian vigilantes are operating in parts of northern Borno;
located in the shores of the Lake Chad, and they are operating under the
coordination and command of the Nigerian Army Cell of the MNJTF.
“One of the key benefits of having these vigilantes is the latitude to
generate and pass on intelligence from border communities in Cameroon
and to also pursue insurgents who occasionally flee from Nigerian
territories to border communities in Cameroon where Nigerian troops may
be constrained to engage them.
“The main objective of the Lake Chad Basin Governor’s Forum is to ease
cross border cooperation in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents in
the affected countries.”
