The Armed Forces of Nigeria, through the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, yesterday, reportedly neutralized some Boko Haram Terrorists, BHTs and destroyed some of their logistics facilities at Parisu in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.
Fresh Angle International scooped from a statement issued this afternoon, Friday May 1, by the Defence Headquarters in Nigeria that: “The air strike, which was executed as a precursor to further air and ground operations, was conducted after intelligence reports, revealed that the terrorists had resumed use of the settlement as a staging area to launch attacks against nearby troops’ locations.”
The statement added: “Recent aerial surveillance missions had also shown significant terrorist activities in the area, whilst identifying some compounds housing the fighters and their logistics items.
“Consequently, the Air Task Force dispatched its fighter jets to attack the location.
“The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, jets, while taking turns to engage the target area, scored accurate bomb and rocket strikes, resulting in the destruction of some of the structures as well as the killing of several terrorists.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria will continue to sustain the offensive against the enemies of the Country, until peace and normalcy are restored in all parts of Nigeria,” the statement signed by Major General John Enenche, the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters, Abuja, explained.
