Air Force Alpha Jets hit more Boko Haram targets in Sambisa forest

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), in its bid to sustain the ongoing air assault against the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in Sambisa forest, has continued to hit vital targets with a view to decimating the capability and resolve of the members of the sect to continue to fight.

NAF Director of Public Relations & Information, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, stated this yesterday.

He said in a statement in Abuja: “The most recent success was the attack on BHT targets in Ngoshe and Pulka by the Alpha Jets providing Close Air Support to own ground forces. The targets, which include solar panels believed to be used by the sect for generating electricity within the Sambisa Forest, were hit during the recent take-over of Gamboru-Ngala by own troops.”
