The Nigerian Air Force said that its air component attached to OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE has recorded another major success in its air campaign against the Boko Haram Terrorists as its two F-7Ni fighter aircraft struck a terrorists’ location at Northern Borno.
A statement from the spokesman of the force Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa said the location attacked by the fighter planes was between Tumbum Rego and Malkonory which is about 25km from Kangarwa where Nigerian troops are currently harboured.
The NAF said that the location harbours the insurgents’ makeshift structures and about 4-6 clusters of solar panels which are used by the Terrorists to power communications equipment and for lighting.
The statement reads in parts: “The latest strike is part of the air operations conducted by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in support of the efforts by own surface forces and the Multi National Joint Task Force to rid the northern part of Borno of the remnants BHTs in an operation codenamed “OPERATION GAMA AIKI”.
“The location, prior to the strike yesterday, had been under surveillance for sometimes but was reported active by a NAF Beechcraft aircraft on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission. Thereafter, the Fighter aircraft were immediately scrambled for interdiction. The success of this operation is another major setback for the BHTs even as the NAF intensifies air operations in the Northeast against the insurgents.
“More so, it is instructive to note that the mission yesterday was conducted by crew amid the Salah celebration. This brings to fore the commitment of NAF personnel towards successfully bringing the hostility in the Northeast to an end within the shortest possible time.
