Intensifies aerial bombardment of last frontiers
The Nigerian military in its ongoing mopping up, cordon and search operation in Baga have capture some Boko Haram terrorists disguised as women.
This is coming as the air force in coordination with ground troops has intensified the aerial bombardment of the last frontiers of Bama, Gwoza and Sambisa forests in Borno State.
The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Maj-Gen. Chris Olukolade disclosed this in a statement yesterday, saying that the searches were also yielding more discoveries of arms especially bombs hidden in various locations, especially Baga town.
Apart from those captured in the course of fighting, Olukolade said, many arrests of terrorists hiding in the town were being made and troops are still busy interrogating the suspects.
He added that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves by the military, has stepped up its air bombardment of identified targets in Gwoza, Bama and Sambisa forest, preparatory to other phases of the mission.
According to Olukolade, the air strikes have been highly successful as they achieved the aims, hitting vital targets with required precision.
He said that the terrorists are now in disarray as they scamper to escape from the impact of air bombardment of their locations in the forest.
"Having successfully liberated Baga where the terrorists have been marauding, the troops’ attention has now been focused on consolidation of the security of the area to pave way for return of citizens", he said.
