The Nigerian military has recorded yet another success in their fight to eliminate terrorism in the northeast region of the country after the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole reportedly neutralized several suspected Boko Haram terrorists and destroyed some of their logistics facilities at Parisu in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.
A statement signed by Coordinator, Defence Media Operation, Major General John Enenche, reveal that the airstrike was carried out after intelligence reports exposed that the terrorists had resumed use of the settlement as a staging area to launch attacks against troops located around the axis.
According to the army general, the Air Task Force dispatched its fighter jets to assault the location hence the Nigerian Air Force jets took turns to engage the target area with bombs and rocket strikes leading to the destruction of some of the structures as well as the neutralizing many of the insurgents.
Gen. Enenche also said recent aerial surveillance missions had revealed significant terrorist activities in the area in addition to identifying some compounds housing the fighters and their logistics items.
