The Multi-National Joint Tasks Force (MNJTF) has paved the way for a long-awaited homecoming of Kukawa community in Borno State which is experiencing a resurgence of peace and unity with the joyful return of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to their ancestral homes.
In a heartwarming turn of events following over a decade of insurgency in the North East, the successful efforts by the MNJTF marked a significant milestone in the region's journey towards stability and development.
A statement by the Chief Military Public Information Officer, Headquarters MNJTF Ndjamena Chad, Lieutenant Colonel Olaniyi Osoba says the symbolic event signifies a new chapter of hope and resilience for the community.
Amidst cheers and celebrations, the Honourable member representing Kukawa Constituency, Honourable Karta Maina, with local leaders including Chairman Alhaji Abba Fugu and District Head Alhaji Kachalla Mamman, officially flagged off the return of the IDPs to Kukawa town on Sunday, August 4, 2024 the statement said.
The MNJTF says recent Operation LAKE SANITY II, led by MNJTF forces, has been instrumental in creating a safer environment for the return of displaced residents.
The operation's success, which resulted in the elimination of terrorists, the recovery of arms cache, and the surrender of several militants, has instilled confidence and optimism among the returning IDPs.
Kukawa, a vital part of the Borno Emirate, holds a special place in the hearts of its residents, who are now embracing the opportunity to rebuild their lives and communities. With neighboring towns like Cross Kukawa and Baga also witnessing positive changes, the collective efforts towards peace and reconciliation set a promising precedent for the entire region.
As the IDPs settle back into their homes, the spirit of resilience and unity shines brightly in Kukawa, a beacon of hope for other communities affected by conflict. The journey towards lasting peace and prosperity continues, fueled by the unwavering determination of the people and the support of dedicated leaders and security forces.
