The Nigerian Air Force has yet again, destroyed the Logistics base and Assembly area of some suspected Terrorists at Bula Bello in Borno State, as the Military records yet another victory over the dread Boko Haram terrorists in North-East Nigeria.
According to the statement released by the Director of Public Relations and Information Officer of the Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, said the Airstrikes being conducted by the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE under Operation GREEN SWEEP-3 have continued to yield tangible results.
Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, adding further, said the latest of these results is the destruction of a Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) Logistics Base/Assembly Area at Bula Bello on the fringes of the Sambisa Forest in Borno State. He said:
“The operation was executed today, 22 August 2019, after Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions revealed that the settlement was being used by BHT elements as a staging area to launch attacks against own troops.
Consequently, the ATF dispatched 2 Alpha Jets and a Mi-35M helicopter to attack the identified buildings within the settlement. Overhead the target area, several BHT fighters were seen within the settlement. The 2 Alpha Jets, therefore, took turns attacking the target area, scoring direct hits on the desired points of impact.
The structures were damaged by the strikes while several of the terrorists were neutralized. The few surviving fighters were taken out in follow-on strikes by the MI-35M attack helicopter.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its operations against the terrorists in the Northeast” he said.
