Boko
Haram terrorist are being given a truly hard time in their Sambisa
forest hideout as the Nigeria Air Fore hauls bombs at them.
According to a Vanguard report, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has
confirmed that it neutralized hundreds of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs)
in Garin Maloma area in Sambisa Forest. A NAF Intelligence, Surveillance
and Reconnaissance (iSR) platform had earlier sighted the BHTs who were
gathered under some trees.
A statement by Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, Director of
Public Relations and Information, said that a combination of NAF fighter
aircraft namely the F7-Ni, Alpha Jet and L-39 ZA aircraft was detailed
to carry out air interdiction on the BHT gathering.
The Alpha Jet aircraft acquired and attacked the target with bombs,
neutralising many of the BHTs. Thereafter, the F-Ni aircraft
immediately conducted a bomb attack, which resulted in the death of more
BHTs.
The L-39ZA aircraft then followed through by strafing fleeing terrorists with rockets, killing most of them in the process.
After the attacks, a few BHT survivors were seen scampering from
the location. Meanwhile, the NAF has conveyed the Director General of
the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) and other NEMA
officials to Makurdi to give effect to the Presidential directive to
assist flood victims in Makurdi.
The NAF Beechcraft KingAir aircraft was used to convey the team.
