B/Haram:  Benin Republic to deploy 150 troops
Special Task Force (STF)
Benin Republic will next month deploy 150 troops to help the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) against Boko Haram insurgents and other terror acts.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Director Army Public Relations, DDAPR, Multinational Joint Task Force, MNJTF, Colonel Mohammed Dole yesterday. He said Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic have already sent their troops since late 2015 to join the Nigerian forces at Ndjamena.
Benin’s Minister of Defence, Yarou Robert Theophile, according to the statement, said that the initial delay in the deployment of the troops was due to some logistics and equipment challenges, which were recently provided.
“The first batch of 150 military personnel will be deployed in Ndjamena, HQ MNJTF before the end of April 2016, he added. While the remaining batches will be airlifted subsequently to meet up with 750 troops expected from Benin Republic.
