In continuation of the air interdiction missions being conducted as part of subsidiary Operation WUTAR TABKI 2, the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has destroyed some dwellings of Boko Haram Terrorists’ (BHTs’) leaders and neutralized several of their fighters in separate air strikes executed in the Sambisa Forest area as well as at a settlement about 1.7 Km East of Yale, both in Borno State.





The Coordinator Defence Media Operations
Defence Headquarters, Major General John Enenche in a press release to Africa Security Investigation on the 1 December 2020 disclosed that the air raids were undertaken yesterday, 30 November 2020, after credible Human Intelligence reports and series of aerial surveillance missions had indicated that some of the BHTs that carried out recent attacks against innocent civilians were harboured in makeshift structures under the dense vegetation of the Sambisa Forest while others were tracked to the settlement East of Yale.



Enenche the Air Task Force dispatched Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to attack the 2 locations. The attack aircraft, while taking turns to engage the targets, delivered lethal bomb and rocket strikes, resulting in the destruction of some of the structures as well as the killing of several terrorists.

I believe the military will make more progress when the Tucano helicopters are delivered.

Investment into research for technology and innovation is the only single way out of this quadmire.

One of our problems is that we've not had a president who is savvy in modern academic realities, They're limited to the 60s, 70s and 80s forms or scientific education while they only speak grammar that makes their education sound modern.

The US military neither joke nor play partisan politics with its military, hence, the result. But Nigeria would rather use religion, tribe, political affinity and sentiments.
