The Defence Headquarters says the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has routed Boko Haram with many of the insurgents killed in multiple air strikes on their hideout in Sambisa forest.
In a statement on Friday in Abuja by the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, the military said said the raid was conducted after series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
Enenche said the air raids were conducted at Bone and Mudu in Yale-Kumshe axis as well as ‘S’ Region in Sambisa Forest on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2.
According to him, the intelligence reports revealed the three locations were being used as staging areas where the terrorists store their weapons and logistics items as well as plan and launch attacks.
“The NAF attack aircraft engaged the target areas in successive passes, leading to the destruction of some of their structures and logistics stores as well as the neutralisation of several of the insurgents.
“A suspected anti-aircraft gun station was also recovered,” he said.
