NAF AIRSTRIKES ELIMINATE  TERRORISTS IN BORNO STATE


The Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai has carried out airstrikes on a massing terrorists in an isolated location consisting of 3 zinced structures amid several trees at Tagoshe, on the Mandara mountains in Borno State.

According to the Director of Public Relations and Information of NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet says from a footage, it was evident that the terrorists were massing up at a location for either a well-planned meeting or preparing for a major attack on own troops.

The statement explains that over a hundred heavily armed terrorists were observed throwing banters and moving randomly around the structures, which also had 4 troop carriers.

The aftermath of the airstrike revealed that 2 out of the 3 structures, as well as the entire troop carriers were destroyed.

The statement disclosed that there are indications that Abu Asad, a key figure in the Ali Ngulde group under Boko Haram, as well as other terrorists like Ibrahim Nakeeb, Mujaheed Dimtu, Mustafa Munzir and several fighters were among the several terrorists eliminated in the airstrike.

According to the statement, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar has since commended the Air Component Commander and his men, while urging them to continue to synergize with the land component, as they maintain the momentum in keeping the terrorists on their toes.
