The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) have eliminated scores of Boko Haram terrorists at two locations in Borno.

This is contained in a statement on Monday by the Air spokesperson, Olusola Akinboyewa said Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions conducted on the location confirmed heightened terrorist activity, revealing an influx of motorcycles and gatherings of combatants across the site.

He added that fighter jets were quickly deployed and the location was bombed, killing many terrorists.

He said, “Air strikes killed scores of Boko Haram terrorists at two key locations in Bula Marwa, Borno State.

“Having identified Bula Marwa as a high-level meeting site for Boko Haram’s notorious figures, ISR missions further confirmed heightened terrorist activity, revealing an influx of motorcycles and gatherings of combatants across the site.

“Consequently, NAF fighter jets were dispatched to the location for an air interdiction mission. On arrival, ISR footage captured suspected terrorists assembling at a rendezvous point on 12 motorcycles.

“The motorcycles were then traced to a primary meeting location where additional terrorists had been waiting. Accordingly, the first airstrike was executed, effectively engaging the target area.

“Moments later, ISR aircraft loitering in the vicinity observed several terrorists returning to assess the damage and evacuate their wounded combatants. In response, NAF air assets conducted follow-up strikes, neutralising additional terrorists.”

“These air operations struck a significant blow to planned terrorist activities, taking out multiple fighters and demolishing their motorcycles, thereby crippling their ability to launch ambushes or other hostile actions.”

He said that the NAF air assets launched a precision airstrike on the location, achieving a direct hit and neutralising numerous terrorists.
