Boko Haram: What Air Force did to insurgents on Monday
The Nigeria Air
Force (NAF) says its Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has degraded
another Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) hideout in the Sambisa Forest in Borno
State.
Air Commodore
Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, who
disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, said the operation was
conducted on Sunday.
”The operation was
executed on June 16, after persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) missions reveal heavy presence of BHTs at a new camp with
several structures hidden under the thick foliage of the Forest.
”Accordingly, the
ATF dispatched an Alpha Jet to attack the location.
”Its bombs hit the
target area, with devastating effects on several of the camouflaged structures,
neutralising their BHT occupants,” he said.
Daramola added that
the NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, would sustain efforts to
completely degrade the terrorists in the Northeast.
