The Nigerian Air Force on Tuesday said it has recorded another major success in the ongoing counter-insurgency and counter terrorism operations against the Boko Haram Terrorist sect in the North East.
According to NAF spokesperson, Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, the current phase of intensified air operations over Northern Borno paid-off on the night of August 19, 2016 when the NAF, during an air attack, killed about 300 Boko Haram terrorists.
The terrorists were said to have gathered to hold a meeting at a location between Malam Fatori and the troops location at Kangarwa.
Prior to this, the NAF had on August 16, 2016 commenced series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions to corroborate human intelligence that key BHT commanders gather at the said location to hold meeting at night.
The objective of the ongoing operation, as usual, Famuyiwa said, is to degrade the capability of the insurgents, particularly those who have fled to the northern part of Borno State.
