The Nigerian Air Force on Monday said its fighter jets struck Boko
Haram new hideout about one nautical mile south of Tumbum Rego in
northern Borno.
A statement from Air Force spokesman, Group Captain Ayodele
Famuyiwa said the NAF fighter jets and helicopter gunship assaulted the
location in a coordinated day and night operation following
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR).
Famuyiwa added that the intelligence report showed that Boko Haram
insurgents who attacked own Surface Forces at Kangarwa the night of 12
January 2017 had withdrawn to the said location.
Continuing he said, “NAF has intensified aerial patrol over the
entire operation in the North East, as well as offensive mission around
the Green Belt region near Niger and Chad Republics.
“The renewed effort is aimed at denying the remnants of the
insurgents the opportunity to regroup and launch attack on own Surface
Forces or people within the host communities.”
