The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has arrested a suspected terrorist logistics courier and recovered approximately 21,000 rounds of 7.62 × 39mm ammunition during a patrol operation in Cameroon’s Far North Region.
The operation was carried out on August 10, 2026, by personnel of the National Gendarmerie stationed at Hilé-Alifa, under Sector 1 of the MNJTF.
The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Moussa Goudja, was intercepted in the Dougoum Silio area of Logone while allegedly transporting the ammunition for onward delivery to Ambdego.
According to the MNJTF, the ammunition was concealed in three containers disguised as containers used for petroleum products in an apparent attempt to evade detection by security personnel.
This, represents a significant seizure of ammunition believed to have been destined for terrorist elements operating within the Lake Chad Basin, potentially disrupting their ability to replenish their weapons and sustain attacks.
