[The Peninsula] The presence of Chadian troops on Nigerian soil to fight Boko Haram does not compromise the country's sovereignty, the military in Abuja said on Tuesday.
| Not that it would matter if it did, unless the military can enforce any displeasure it might feel. |
Soldiers from Chad on Tuesday crossed the border from Cameroon to the Nigerian town of Gamboru, after three days of bombardment of Boko Haram positions in a regional fight-back against the militants.
But Abuja's defence spokesman Chris Olukolade said in a statement: "Nigeria's territorial integrity remains intact." |
