“We wish to confirm that there are on-going clearance operations in various parts of the north east by the military.
“The Nigerian Air Force has specifically been carrying out excellent aerial bombardments with utmost precision to the point that they have destroyed the Boko Haram terrorists logistics, weapons, equipment and neutralised quite a number of them in Mangusum, various parts of Sambisa including Balla and Parisu.
“The ongoing renewed combat readiness and good efforts by the Nigerian Air Force are indeed very commendable as it led to recovery of high calibre weapons and further decimation of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists. There were indications that quite a number of the terrorists’ key leaders have either been killed or wounded.
“Efforts are ongoing to further confirm the details from our troops who have been involved on Operation DEEP PUNCH.”
