Chadian troops have entered the northern Nigerian town of Gambaru on the
border with Cameroon that has been under the control of Nigeria’s Boko
Haram insurgents for several months, Chadian military sources said on
Tuesday.
The Nigerian government and military officials were not immediately available to comment.
“Our troops entered Nigeria this morning. The combat is ongoing,” one of the sources at Chad’s army headquarters told Reuters.
Chad
has deployed some 2,500 troops as part of a regional effort to take on
the militant group that has waged a bloody insurgency to create an
Islamist emirate in northern Nigeria.
