MORE BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS NEUTRALIZED, LOGISTICS FACILITIES DESTROYED BY AIR TASK FORCE OF OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE AT MINA IN BORNO STATE
Several Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) have been neutralized and their logistics supplies destroyed in air strikes executed by the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE at Mina along the Gulumba Gana-Kumshe Axis in the Northern part of Borno State.
Coordinator defence media operations, Major General John Enenche in a statement said, the feat, which has further destabilized Boko Hara Terrorists’ new leadership and curtailed their freedom of action, was achieved as part of missions being executed under the subsidiary Operation LONG REACH II, sequel to Human Intelligence reports indicating that the BHT location had recently been reinforced with fighters and logistics supplies to provide resistance against nearby friendly ground troops’ positions.
Enenche said Confirmatory surveillance missions also observed significant numbers of terrorists in the settlement as Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets detailed by the ATF to engage the location scored accurate hits in their bombing runs, neutralizing some of the Terrorists and destroying some of their structures, including one of the terrorists’ logistics’ huts which was seen engulfed in flames.
Some of the fighters who escaped the bomb attacks were mopped as the jets strafed their hiding positions.
Enenche said the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, commended the ATF for their dedication, dexterity and professionalism towards eliminating the insurgents.
