NAF jet bombs terrorists hideout in Sambisa

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jet has bombed Boko Haram hideouts in Kollaram on the Lake Chad Green fringes as well as Bula Korege within Sambisa Forest, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF spokesperson has said.
He said the at Kollaram was conducted “following successive days of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, coupled with Human Intelligence reports, that led to the identification of a Boko Haram hideout within the settlement.” He said: “Accordingly, the ATF detailed a fighter aircraft to attack the insurgents’ hideout which was destroyed and several BHTs killed.
“Further ISR missions had also observed significant BHT presence in the middle of Bula Korege on the fringes of Sambisa Forest, with several buildings identified as locations where some Boko Haram terrorists leaders reportedly resided.
“Consequently, Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft and 2 helicopter gunships were detailed to carry out air interdiction at the location.
The attacks by the fighter jets destroyed about 12 BHT dwellings and several solar panels in the area of interest.
“A few Boko Haram terrorists survivors were seen fleeing the area and appropriately engaged by the Mi-35M helicopter gunships.” He said the NAF would sustain the “momentum of the operation with a view to decimating the remnants of the insurgents.”
