The recapture of Malumfatori by Chad was confirmed by a senior official from Niger but it is not clear if the operation was approved by Nigeria.
Nigerian Director of Defence Information, Chris Olukolade however told Punch that Malumfatori fell within the area of operation of the Multi National Joint Task Force of which Chad is a part.
