The Nigerian Air Force says its Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, has destroyed a terrorists’ hideout and neutralised some of them at Kaicungul, a settlement about 100Km North West of Monguno, in Northern Borno.
NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said the operation was carried out on Friday.
“The operation was conducted on January 25, on the heels of credible intelligence indicating that the village was being used as a staging area from where the terrorists assembled to launch attacks against our troops’ locations.
“The ATF therefore detailed an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform for confirmatory surveillance of the location, which observed significant terrorists’ activities in the settlement.

“Accordingly, two Alpha Jet aircraft were scrambled to attack the hideout.
“The two aircraft took turns in attacking the location, recording successful hits on the target, leading to the destruction of some of the structures as well as the neutralisation of some terrorists,” Daramola said.

Story for the gods!
Okay… Onoghen is corrupt and he’s being suspended, legal or illegal. What’s going to happen with Kalu’s 12yr old case? Ganduje? Maina? PYO? Yusuf Buhari? Where are presidential jets to be sold to revamp the economy? Obanikoro, Saint Akpabio, Oshomonkey bribery allegations during state election primaries, #1 can’t be turned to $1 again? How many jobless youths have been getting paid #5000 monthly as promised in 2015? Is this a fight against corruption or opposition? How long till we keep deceiving ourselves with cheap propaganda that shouldn’t ever be thought of? Boko Haram aren’t terrorists but IPOB are? I thought someone said an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North, why is the military bombing there then? Is this democracy? Do you think Nigeria will grow this way? How long till we keep playing tribal and religious politics? What stories would we tell our children? Where’s the money found in the Ikoyi apartment? How long till we have accountable leaders? What’s the way forward? Pity many people take sides with a political party. If truly this administration is fighting corruption, when will it probe obj and the likes rather than shouting where $16bn meant for power is? Was Atiku not in the APC before he came back to the opposition party? Why wasn’t he probed then if truly he’s corrupt? When GEJ said stealing isn’t corruption, a lot of us were thinking he was dumb to say that and out of hatred and folly, we sent a democrat parking. He now laughs at us while we are scampering for safety. Worst still, the religious heads are not helping at all. Why is it that it’s only during election times that the government remember the poor, majority masses? What’s trader money? Why not trader money when this administration began? How long more till we realize we’re being milked daily by these leeches? Did we ever thought we’d be this internationally embarrassed? Is this truly the giant of Africa? What’s happening to Nigeria? Why us? Our democratic government is the most costly to run in the whole world, yet most embarrassing. Either PDP or APC, this country is drowning!!
