The High Command of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said that the air strike conducted by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai at Suwa in Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno State has dislodged the remnants of terrorists in the area.
This was contained in a statement made available to journalists by NAF spokesperson Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet
He explained that recent intelligence revealed the massing up of terrorists within the area with likely plans to attack troops on patrol along major routes to Bama and Mafa Local Government Areas
According to the statement, “Further intelligence also revealed that the same group of terrorists had perfected plans to attack troops stationed around Rann in Kalabalge LGA.
“Accordingly, air strikes were authorised with confirmatory assessments revealing several terrorists neutralised and structures destroyed, thereby degrading their ability to attack friendly forces and innocent law-abiding civilians,
“It has now become evident that the efforts of the entire security agencies operating in the Northeast have, to a large extent, yielded the requisite outcome, though a lot still needs to be done. “
“The need to sustain the momentum is thus expedient; just all the support of all Nigerians to the Armed Forces and other security agencies is essential as they clear the Region of all criminal elements.
“For the Air Component Commanders in all joint operating theatres, the directive of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, remains clear and unambiguous: Stop at nothing in going after these criminals and ensure they are brought to justice.
” The era of treating them with kids’ gloves is long over.”
It may be recalled that Suwa was a stronghold of Boko Haram terrorists in the Gezuwa general area near Sambisa Forest until its dislodgement by the military and other security agencies.
