War on Terror: Scores of Boko Haram Terrorists bombed to death by Airforce Jets in Sambisa during a meeting.

The Nigerian Airforce has confirmed the killing of scores of Boko Haram terrorists who gathered and were meeting in a building in Sambisa Forest after its fighter jets were scrambled to pound the gathering.

Disclosing that the bombardment which was in continuation of ‘Operation Ruwan Wuta 2’, the Airforce said the destruction of the building and the terrorists meeting inside it confirmed by battle damage assessment and eye-witnesses reports.

A statement by the Director of NAF Public Relations, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya giving details said, “In the closing stages of Operation Ruwan Wuta II, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) continued to rain significant fire on Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) hideouts, with intensive day and night aerial bombardments.

 “On 30 October 2017, the NAF conducted an air interdiction mission on a blue-roofed structure in Talata, a BHT infested location in Sambisa.

“Intelligence reports from NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms as well as Human Intelligence had revealed that a sizeable number of BHTs were holding a meeting in the blue-roofed building.

“Consequently, a NAF fighter aircraft was scrambled to attack the building.

“Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment revealed that the building and its occupants were neutralized as a result of the air strike”.

“It will be recalled that the NAF initiated Operation Ruwan Wuta II, on 23 October 2017, to further decimate the ability of the BHTs to freely operate with a view to giving advantage to our surface forces and thereby frustrate the efforts of the BHTs to recapture any Nigerian territory.”
