The Nigeria military isn’t resting on its oars in their fight against Boko-Haram insurgents who seem to constitute a major threat to Nigeria and the general elections which were meant to initially hold this month.
In a bid to curb out the insurgents before March 28th which has been announced as the new date for the election, the military has embarked on air-strikes which will flush out the insurgents way more quicker than the ground forces.
In another development, a tank was captured from Boko Haram militants by Nigerian troops in Michika, Adamawa state and the military shared a photo.
The Nigeria Military issues a statement via its Facebook page……Statement below:
A concerted air campaign by the Nigerian Air Force is ongoing in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves. The air strikes which today targeted the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision.
The death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded while many others are also scampering all over the forest and out of the struck bases. Details of casualty will be determined in subsequent phases of the operation. Meanwhile, the strikes continue in other locations of the theatre heralding the advance of troops and other elements of the mission.
