The Nigerian Air Force on Sunday disclosed that scores of terrorists have been killed in stream-of-air strikes in their enclaves across the theatres.
Nigerian Air Force added that the air interdiction missions were carried out by the Air Components of Operations Hadin Kai and Hadarin Daji, at a newly identified terrorists’ hideout at Bukar Meram, near the Lake Chad region in Borno.
According to the Air Force’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the strikes became necessary after it was established that the recent relocation of terrorists from Suwa to Bukar Meram general area, was for possible resurgence of attacks on ground troops and innocent civilians.
He added that feedback received after the strikes revealed the expected outcome was achieved as several terrorists were neutralized while over forty motorcycles and six gun trucks were destroyed, adding that air strikes were authorised at the location in Bukar Meram to decimate the terrorists.
