Military Headquarters Asks TikTok To Remove ISWAP Videos As Terrorists Release Footage On Lake Chad

The MNJTF claimed that in the past year, its troops recorded “significant progress” in the fight against insurgency, adding that more than 30,000 refugees and internally displaced persons had been repatriated to their communities.

The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has appealed to social media platforms, especially TikTok, to diligently monitor and remove contents that promote violence and radicalisation.

 

 

The MNJTF claimed that in the past year, its troops recorded “significant progress” in the fight against insurgency, adding that more than 30,000 refugees and internally displaced persons had been repatriated to their communities.

 

The Multinational Joint Task Force stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in a reaction to a ISWAP footage on providing protection to communities in the Lake Chad Region.

 

 

Describing the circulating footage by ISWAP/Boko Haram terrorists on the TikTok account of Albanarwy 1446, also known as ibn Abubakar Albanarwy, as “despicably false and misleading information,” MNJTF unequivocally stated that the terrorist groups had been propagating a distorted narrative, falsely portraying a harmonious relationship between the communities in the Lake Chad region and themselves.

 

 

MNJTF said that their claims to offer protection and enforce strict Sharia law, misrepresents the reality of their actions and intentions with a view to manipulate public opinion, while concealing the horrific acts they have been committing against innocent populace in the region.

 

 

“The manipulated footage features farmer, herders and fishermen speaking in Hausa, falsely emphasising their purported harmonious relationship with ISWAP/ Boko Haram terrorists. The report also contained some unimaginable and not well-couched falsehoods targeted at whipping up emotions and creating the illusion that the terrorist groups are providing protection for lives and property in the Lake Chad region.”

 

 

He said that MNJTF had documented numerous instances of forced displacement, brutal killings, kidnappings, and other heinous acts perpetrated by ISWAP/Boko Haram Terrorists, which have inflicted fear and suffering among the local communities. “Contrary to the false portrayal of “peaceful coexistence,” the MNJTF is actively engaged in stabilizing the area, providing genuine protection to civilians, and creating conditions conducive to sustainable peace and development.

 

 

“Additionally, the ISWAP/Boko Haram terrorists rather than acting as protectors, have devastated local economies by restricting freedom of movement and disrupting farming, fishing and trade. In contrast, the MNJTF is actively collaborating with regional partners and national forces to stabilize the region, provide genuine civilian protection, and create conditions conducive to sustainable peace and development. This mission is not merely a duty but a solemn promise to the people the MNJTF is committed to safeguarding.

 

 

“Over the past year, MNJTF has recorded significant progress. Notably, more than 30,000 refugees and internally displaced persons have been successfully repatriated to their communities. These included restoring normalcy in places like Kirawa, Banki, Cross Kukawa, Baga, and other smaller communities.

 

 

“Furthermore, significant efforts have been made to support IDPs in Baraou in Niger, Amchide in Cameroon, and Bagatolorom as well as Litri in Chad, focusing on their well-being and livelihoods. Worthy of mention is the reopening of key international commercial routes such as N’Djamena (Chad) – Kousseri (Cameroon) to Gamboru – Dikwa – Maiduguri (Nigeria) which has contributed to regional stability by enabling the free movement of goods and people.

 

 

“It is also worthy of note that the recently concluded Operation LAKE SANITY 2, resulted in the neutralization of numerous Boko Haram terrorist combatants, the successful rescue of several hostages and the capture of arms and ammunition. Our collaborative efforts with national operations in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, and Chad have been instrumental in combating terrorism in the region.

 

 

“The MNJTF remains unwavering in its commitment to ensuring the peace, unity, and security of all communities within the Lake Chad Basin. We urge social media platforms, such as TikTok, to diligently monitor and remove contents that promote violence and radicalisation,” the statement partly read.
