The Air Component of Operation Lafiya Dole recorded another successful raid in its air campaign against Boko Haram Terrorists as 2 fighter aircraft struck a Boko Haram location in Northern Borno.

The location lies between Tumbum Rego and Malkonory about 25km from Kangarwa.

The army released a video footage of the successful operation.

The location, from the video shows makeshift structures made by the terrorists and about 4-6 clusters of solar panels used to power communications gadgets and for lighting by Boko Haram terrorists.

According to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Director of Public Relations & Information, Ayodele Famuyiwa, “The latest strike is part of the air operations conducted by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in support of the efforts by ground troops 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.”
