200 vehicles carrying soldiers from Niger and Chad have arrived in Nigeria as part of efforts against terrorist group, Boko Haram, military sources say.
“They left in a huge convoy of over 200 vehicles, some of them fitted with machine guns, including armored tanks, ambulances, water tankers and cargo trucks, which indicate they were going for a prolonged operation,” a journalist told CNN.
The soldiers are part of a multinational force formed by Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon to fight the terrorists.
