LATEST BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS VIDEO CLIP MERE PROPAGANDA AND SIGNS OF DEFEAT AS 2 MORE KEY COMMANDERS WERE KILLED ON SALLAH DAY

The Nigerian Army has noted that in their desperation, the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists have released yet another video clip yesterday, in which they made all manner of spurious assertions, denying the surrender of some of the terrorists and the killing of 5 key commanders, among other lies, all aimed at instilling unnecessary fears in law abiding people.

Although the relevant department is still analyzing the video clip, suffice to state that it is sheer desperation and clear signs of fear as our troops keep closing up with them. Moreover, two other Deputies of the purported Boko Haram terrorists group leader, Afdu Kawuri and Abubakar Banishek, were killed in a successful military operation at Alafa on Sallah day, Friday 1st September 2017. This is in addition to Ba'Abba Ibrahim and 2 other Boko Haram commanders that died after sustaining injuries during their last ambush at Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno state.

We wish to challenge the so-called terrorist leader to produce the 5 key commanders earlier killed or the video of those Ameers he claimed not dead and are still with him. It is also instructive to note that Shekau is scared and rattled by the 40-day ultimatum issued by the Chief of Army Staff to the Theatre Commander Operation LAFIYA DOLE and hiding from one hole to another, like the bush rat that he really is!!!

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

NAF COMMISSIONS OFFICE COMPLEX OF RECENTLY ESTABLISHED SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND, OTHER PROJECTS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commissioned the office complex of the Headquarters of the recently established Special Operations Command in Bauchi. Other projects commissioned on 31 August 2017 include the official residence of the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Special Operations Command and residential accommodation for the principal staff officers of the new Command. The idea behind the projects is to enable the AOC and his principal officers quickly settle down to the task at hand without any administrative constraints.

Speaking during the ‎commissioning ceremony, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, restated the commitment of the Federal Government to the welfare of personnel towards creating a conducive environment for them to discharge their constitutional responsibilities. According to the CAS, who was represented by Air Vice Marshal‎ Sadiq Kaita, the AOC SOC, “Only an Air Force with well trained personnel, equipment and motivation would be capable of fulfilling its assigned roles".

It would be recalled that the NAF recently established the Special Operations Command to enable the Service better address the challenges of asymmetric warfare, such as posed by the Boko Haram terrorists.

PRESS RELEASE
NAF BOMBARDMENT NEUTRALISES HUNDREDS OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS, CONVEYS NEMA OFFICIALS TO MAKURDI

1. On 1 September 2017, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) neutralized hundreds of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in Garin Maloma area in Sambisa Forest. A NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (iSR) platform had earlier sighted the BHTs who were gathered under some trees. Consequently, a combination of NAF fighter aircraft namely the F7-Ni, Alpha Jet and L-39 ZA aircraft was detailed to carry out air interdiction on the BHT gathering. The Alpha Jet aircraft acquired and attacked the target with bombs, neutralising many of the BHTs. Thereafter, the F-Ni aircraft immediately conducted a bomb attack, which resulted in the death of more BHTs. The L-39ZA aircraft then followed through by strafing fleeing terrorists with rockets, killing most of them in the process. After the attacks, a few BHT survivors were seen scampering from the location.

2. Meanwhile, the NAF has conveyed the Director General of the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) and other NEMA officials to Makurdi to give effect to the Presidential directive to assist flood victims in Makurdi. The NAF Beechcraft KingAir aircraft was used to convey the team.
