The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, on Thursday said the air
component operation of “Operation Lafiya Dole” hit a “mass
gathering” of Boko Haram terrorists at Wulge area of Borno
State.
The air component commander of the theatre operation,
“Operation Lafiya Dole”, Isiaka Amao, said this while briefing
journalists in Maiduguri on Thursday.
“The air component struck a mass gathering of Boko Haram
terrorists and their leaders at Wulge.
“Report received after the strike was that it was a huge success
as many terrorists were killed,” Mr. Amao said.
He said NAF also sighted and neutralised terrorists’ vehicles
in Kunshe town.
The commander also said NAF destroyed Boko Haram’s
logistics, vehicle workshop and a weapon storage facility after
successful interdiction missions on their Sambisa forest
hideout.
Mr. Amao, an air commodore, said NAF also destroyed a
bomb-making factory in the forest.
“The air component has continued to intensify its air effort in
support of the ground troops. In October, over 40 interdiction
missions with over 80 per cent success were carried out.
“Just to mention a few, we have in the month degraded the
terrorists’ logistics in the Sambisa forest,” he said.
Mr. Amao said the air force also destroyed two suspected
terrorists’ camps in the forest.
“The continued air strikes have significantly degraded the
capabilities of the terrorists.
“Likewise, two terrorist hideouts in Sambisa were destroyed,”
he said.
Mr. Amao, however, announced that NAF lost one of its pilots,
Ebitimi Owei, during the month.
“On a sad note, we lost a colleague, Flight Lt. Ebitimi Owei
and a platform during one of the missions. May his gentle soul
rest in peace,” he said.
Mr. Amao said the death of Mr. Owei would not affect the
morale of officers engaged in the operation.
He said NAF also intercepted and destroyed a boat carrying
fuel to the terrorists along Nigeria-Cameroon border.
“Other armed missions were carried out in Geidam, Gamboru,
Ngala, Mafa, Kirenowa and Banki towns, among others.
“These missions were aimed at identifying and destroying
opportunity targets and denying terrorists freedom of action,”
the commander said. Premium Times |
