The Defence Headquarters has said a combined operation by personnel of the Nigerian Air Force and the ground troops have resulted in the death of a large number of insurgents at the dreaded Sambisa Forest enclave of the Boko Haram and parts of Gwoza.
The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, said in a statement on Thursday that the air strikes which hit targets with precision inflicted a heavy casualty figure on the insurgents.
He said strikes targeted the training facilities and logistic dumps of the insurgents.
According to him, several of the insurgents were scampering all over the areas hit by the fighter jets in Sambisa.
The Defence Spokesman, who said the details of the casualty in the latest attack would be revealed later, added that air strikes were going on in other locations to prepare ground for the advancement of ground troops.
He said, “A concerted air campaign by the Nigerian Air Force is on-going in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves.
“The air strikes, which today targeted the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza, have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision.
“The death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded while many others are also scampering all over the forest and out of the struck bases.
“Details of casualty will be determined in subsequent phases of the operation.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteGEJ, If you had expelled those Boko Haram spices and silent or biro insurgents working with you since all these days,u would not have been facing all these mess.You seems to be too slow to act as against the love and trust Nigerian bestowed on you.May Allah grants you better wisdom.Amina.
ReplyDeleteGallant Nigerian Millitary Kudos to your brave performance.May Allah continue to guide you.So all along,u can enter Sambisa Forest.I am shocked.Why d delay?
ReplyDelete10:18Am I know that you're one of those reasoning from their Anus, okay listen now GEJ is not too slow. This BOKO of a thing was cooked and sponsored by some people in order to discredit GEJ lead administration and to make the country very ungovernable by Jona. The cookers and sponsors (I believed) planted some faceless member of BOKO everywhere including in the Force Families. It is not too easy to manage faceless and gorilla workforce especially in the force families. But with wisdom and God's directives, GEJ has successfully expelled those Boko spices in the Force families. Now military is winning the way. I know that some enemies of GEJ never expected this success so far recorded. Many enemies will soon destroy their Party Membership Card because of this unexpected success.Kudos Nigerian Military, Good luck Nigeria.
