Air Force jets strike B’Haram bases in Sambisa forest

The Nigerian Air Force says its jets has struck several bases of terrorist group, Boko Haram, located in its stronghold, the Sambisa forest.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by its Director of Information and Public Relations, Group Capt. Ayodele Famuyiwa, the raids were conducted during the day and night.

He said, “The Nigerian Air Force in the past one week, has successfully struck a number of Boko Haram Terrorist locations, including their logistics bases within the Sambisa Forest. 

“The air interdiction missions were conducted day and night using a combination of combat platforms comprising F-7Ni fighter aircraft, Alpha Jets and Mi-24V helicopter gunship. 

“The latest air strikes against the Boko Haram insurgents are fall-outs of Operation Forest Storm launched by the NAF on 2 October 2016 to further degrade the capability of the Boko Haram elements within the Sambisa general area in order to create the enabling environment for own ground forces to continue their operation.

“From Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, it appears the insurgents are low on logistics as no vehicle was seen moving. Furthermore, a Battle Damage Assessment showed that the entire operation was a success even as human intelligence confirmed that a number of the insurgents were killed.”
