Crime & SecurityNewsNigeriaNAF airstrike hunts down terrorists in Borno

The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, recorded a remarkable success in the fight against terrorists on 5 January when it bombed a logistics base of Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State’s Parisu area, near the infamous Sambisa Forest.

The destruction of the camp, NAF spokesman Edward Gabkwet said on Sunday, followed a series of secret surveillance that indicated a swathe of terrorists moving about the area with weapons and ammunition.

Troops of ‘Operation Hadin Kai’ quickly moved in with drones which led to a fatal explosion of the camp that houses the terror group and their logistics.

Gabkwet said the explosion took the insurgents unaware as they scampered for safety. Twelve Boko Haram fighters were killed in the operation.

On 6 January, armed terrorists gathered at Tumbun Agiri within the Tumbuns in the Lake Chad region were slain. The gang’s vehicles and motorcycles were also destroyed.

“Similar successful strikes were also conducted at Tumbun Buwari and Sabon Tumbun on terrorist structures within the Lake Chad region,” Gabkwet added.
