The Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has dealt another blow on Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) operating in the North East of the Country, with the destruction of no fewer than 3 gun trucks and neutralization of several insurgents at Mainok in Borno State.
This was made known in a press statement released from the Defence Headquarters yesterday, by the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. John Enenche.
The air operation was executed on 12 January 2021, sequel to intelligence reports indicating that the BHTs, in several gun trucks, were traversing the Jakana-Mainok axis of the State.
Accordingly, the Air Task Force scrambled NAF helicopter gunships to engage the convoy of BHT gun trucks and logistics vehicles. The helicopters delivered accurate hits in the target area, resulting in the destruction of 3 of the BHT vehicles, some of which were seen engulfed in flames. Several of the terrorists were also eliminated in the process.
The statement reiterates that The Armed Forces of Nigeria will not relent until all enemies of the nation are neutralised and normalcy is restored to all troubled zones of the country.
