The Nigerian military stated that it has managed conflicts after unauthorized forces from Cameroon entered the Danare village within the Boki local government area of Cross River State.
The military stated that the event, which took place on Tuesday, was quickly controlled by Nigerian forces stationed in the region, stopping it from worsening.
The Assistant Deputy Director for Army Public Relations from the 82nd Division, Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Ayeni, revealed this information in a press release published in Enugu on Thursday.
As per Ayeni, forces stationed at the Forward Operating Base, Danare, reacted upon being informed about the arrival of Cameroonian soldiers in the area and promptly reached out to the relevant military officials in Cameroon.
