The Nigerian Air Force on
Monday said its fighter jets struck Boko Haram new hideout about one
nautical mile south of Tumbum Rego in northern Borno.
A
statement from Air Force spokesman Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa said
the NAF fighter jets and helicopter gunship assaulted the location in a
coordinated day and night operation following Intelligence, Surveillance
and Reconnaissance (ISR).
He
noted that the intelligence report showed that Boko Haram insurgents
who attacked own Surface Forces at Kangarwa the night of 12 January 2017
had withdrawn to the said location.
He recalled that the NAF, of recent,
has intensified aerial patrol over the entire operation in the North
East, as well as offensive mission around the Green Belt region near
Niger and Chad Republics.
Famuyiwa said the renewed effort is aimed at denying the remnants of
the insurgents the opportunity to regroup and launch attack on own
Surface Forces or people within the host communities.Feel Free To Comments Here...
