The Nigerian Air Force through the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, has recorded a major operational success against Boko Haram terrorists on Wednesday by combat aircraft that carried out precision airstrikes on fleeing terrorists in Bita, Borno State, neutralising scores of insurgents in what has been described as one of the most decisive blows against the group in recent times.
A Statement by the Director of public relations and information Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame indicates that the night operation represents a major leap in ongoing efforts to dismantle the operational capabilities of terrorist elements undermining national security in the North East.
It says NAF wishes to reassure Nigerians of its unwavering commitment to defending the nation’s territorial integrity and protecting law-abiding citizens. All necessary measures are being taken to ensure that terrorist elements have no safe haven anywhere within the country.
