Nigerian Military Begins Bombardment Of Sambisa Forest by oluwatomisin93(m): 8:44pm On Aug 15, 2015
Forty-eight hours after President Muhammadu Buhari
directed the Military High Command to ensure the end of
Boko Haram in the next three months, Nigerian Airforce
fighter jets recently deployed to the North East, have
commenced air bombardments of Sambisa forest to
decapitate the remaining terrorist’s camps and bunkers of
the group.
A statement signed by the Director of Airforce Public
Relations, Air Commodore dele Alonge said, “The Nigerian
Military in its resolution to incapacitate and further degrade
the fighting spirit of Boko Haram Terrorist Group (BHT), has
carried out several bombings and air strike missions in
Sambisa Forest.
“The strike missions came after several weeks of tactical
reconnaissance by the reconnaissance/ surveillance
aircraft.
“The air strikes carried out by F-7NI and Alpha Jet fighter
aircraft, as well as attack helicopters have resulted in the
degradation of the terrorist’s capabilities and destruction of
some of their strong holds.

“Intelligence report revealed that as aftermath of the strike
missions, the terrorists have been confined and their
capabilities greatly reduced, thereby restricting their
nefarious activities to small scale attacks and suicide
bombings.
Continuing, Commodore Along said “The Chief of Air Staff,
Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar assures all Nigerians that the
air efforts would be sustained until the Boko Haram
Activities becomes a thing of the past.
He further stated that, the Nigerian Air Force with their
support is ‘Willing, Able and Ready’ to meet up with current
and future security challenges of the Nation.
Recall that last Thursday, the Chief of Air Staff, ordered the
deployment of more fighter aircraft to the North East to help
dislodge Boko Haram terrorists from the area.
Air Commodore Alonge had in a statement noted, “In a
renewed drive to crush the fighting wills of the Boko Haram
Terrorist (BHT) group, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has
deployed additional combat platforms to North East Nigeria
in support of the ongoing counter-insurgency operation
codenamed ‘OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE’.
“The newly deployed platforms include the F-7Ni fighter
(supersonic) aircraft, Mi-24/35 attack helicopters, Augusta
109 LUH, Super Puma Combat Support helicopter and
ATR-42 surveillance aircraft which hitherto had been away
for scheduled maintenance”.
Continuing Alonge said, “The provision of additional
platforms in the North-East is in line with President
Mohammadu Buhari’s mandate to bring an end to
insurgency in the North-East.
“The new deployment is aimed at boosting existing military
efforts to defeat the Boko Haram Terrorists. It is also
expected to enhance the capability of the Nigerian Armed
Forces to fight in a more proactive and efficient manner.”
