Air Component of Operation Lafiya Dole
recorded another major success yesterday July
7th in its air campaign against the Boko Haram
Terrorists(BHT) as 2 x F-7Ni fighter aircraft
struck a terrorists’ location at Northern Borno. The
location lies between Tumbum Rego and
Malkonory and is about 25km from Kangarwa
where own surface forces are currently
harboured.
The location, as can be seen from the enclosed
footage, harbors Boko Haram Terrorist makeshift
structures and about 4-6 clusters of solar panels
which are used by the Terrorists to power
communications equipment and for lighting.
The location, prior to the strike yesterday, had
been under surveillance for sometimes but was
reported active by a NAF Beechcraft aircraft on
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) mission. Thereafter, the Fighter aircraft were
immediately scrambled for interdiction.
The success of this operation is another major
setback for the BHTs even as the NAF intensifies
air operations in the Northeast against the
insurgents. More so, it is instructive to note that
the mission yesterday was conducted by crew
amid the Sallah celebration.
This brings to fore the commitment of NAF
personnel towards successfully bringing the
hostility in the Northeast to an end within the
shortest possible time.
