The fighter jet of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) struck the
hideouts of Boko Haram terrorists at Tagoshe/Mandara Mountain general area
about 10km Southwest of Gwoza in Northern Borno.
This disclosure was made by the Air Force spokesman, Group
Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa.
According to him, the strike was ordered after an
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) tip-off that remnants of
the fleeing terrorists were gathered at the location.
Famuyiwa said that intelligence report by sister surface
forces indicated that remnants of fleeing insurgents were gathered at the
location, about 10 kms Southwest of Gwoza in northern Borno state.
“This report was
confirmed by NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft
before combat platforms were called in to strike the location.
“Follow-up battle
damage assessment confirmed that the air attack was successful as shown by the
enclosed declassified footage of the operation,” he said.
NAF had in the past few weeks been bombarding remnants of
the insurgents’ locations and hideouts in the North-East, especially in
northern part of Borno State.
