The Defence Headquarters yesterday said a concerted air campaign by the Nigerian Air Force is ongoing in furtherance of the mission to clear Boko Haram members from all their enclaves.
A statement issued by the Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade, said the airstrikes targeted Sambisa Forest and Gwoza.
He said: “The air strikes which today targeted the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa Forest and parts of Gwoza have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision.
“The death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded, while many others are also scampering all over the forest and out of the struck bases.
“Meanwhile, the strikes continue in other locations of the theatre, heralding the advance of troops and other elements of the mission.”
