Abuja___

Following reports Tuesday, that Cameroonian air force jets on Monday launched air strikes on scores of Boko Haram terrorists who occupied a military base in Northern Cameroon and bombed them on the Nigerian side, the Defence Headquarters said yesterday that no foreign air force aircraft launched any air strike on Nigeria’s territory.

Rather, DHQ in a post on its twitter handle, disclosed that the air strikes that killed Boko Haram terrorists in the said confrontation at the Nigerian divide of the border town with Cameroon was carried out by Nigerian Airforce fighter aircraft.

It said it will investigate the source of the information claiming that the air strikes were carried out by a foreign air force.

Cameroon’s minister of information, Issa Tchiroma had in a statement, said the coordinated assaults on five towns and villages showed a change in tactics by Boko Haram fighters, adding that the group’s campaign to carve out an Islamic Caliphate has spread from North East Nigeria to neighbouring Cameroon.He added that President Paul Biya ordered air strikes to flush out Boko Haram terrorists’ from Northern Cameroon.

However, Defence Spokesman, Major General Chris Olukolade said, “Ongoing highly Coordinated Air operation is being conducted by the Nigeria Air force. No indication of any Foreign Force engaging in any part of Nigeria. We will investigate claims of Air strikes by a Foreign Force on our Soil. This serves to satisfy peddlers of strange claims and stories”

Continuing, Olukolade asked, “What could be the motive of Foreign Media outfits peddling false/exaggerated claims of a neighboring Army’s exploits on Nigerian soil?”

DHQ can lie!!!!!!!!

all in a bid garner vain media glories,the Cameroon military and its cronies(the usual BBC suspects and their French backers) are really beginning to act like some real attention seeking encroaching pest...going as far as speculating how they carried our air strikes on Nigerian soil shows a huge amount of disrespect, while we support them in the collective effort of flushing out this insurgency menace for good...they had better watch the way they overstep their boundaries sometimes.

I don't give a ffffuck who carried out the strike, jes romance the bast@rds with their 72 virgins its all I need for now

cameroon's airforce is virtually not operational .. I believe DHQ
