The Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, AVM. Olatokunbo Adesanya, who made the disclosure said the bombardment followed intelligence about the gathering of the terrorists in the said areas.

“On the second day of the ongoing operation ` Thunder Strike’, the Air Task Force (ATF), Operation Lafiya Dole, successfully conducted air interdiction on Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) infested location, 13 Nautical Miles North East of Bama.

“A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft had previously observed significant BHT presence in the location.

“Accordingly, the ATF detailed a combination of fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships to attack the insurgents’ position.

“Overhead the location, the attack platforms took turns to unleash their ordinance on the targets while the NAF ISR aircraft conducted Battle Damage Assessment (BDA),” he said.

He said the terrorists at the location were neutralized and their structures totally destroyed following the air bombardment.

He also spoke about the attack on a location in Gobara, 15km Northwest of Gwoza.

His words:  “Previous ISR report had indicated that the location served as a hideout for the insurgents.

“Consequently, NAF fighter aircraft were detailed to carry out air interdiction on the location.

“The fighter jets acquired and took turns to strafe the location, destroying the building and killing most of the BHTs in the process.

“After the attacks, the BDA revealed that some other adjoining BHT structures and hideouts were equally destroyed.”
