February 5, 2014
The
79 Composite Group of the Nigerian Air Force in Maiduguri said on
Wednesday that it had destroyed suspected Boko Haram hideouts following a
raid in some parts of the state.
Squadron Leader Chris Erondu, the spokesman for the group, said this in a statement in Maiduguri.
Erondu, in the statement, added that the raid was carried out after surveillance in the areas.
“Sequel
to intelligence reports, the 79 Composite Group, in conjunction with 75
Strike Group, Yola, carried out air surveillance interdiction and raid
on identified Boko Haram hideouts.
“The operation was conducted in Bulabulim,Yujiwa-Alagarno, all located around Damboa axis of Borno State.
“The
results of these air operations have been remarkable as the insurgents
have retreated to neighbouring countries of Cameroun, Chad and Niger
Republic and have suffered heavy casualties.
“The groups have
also maintained constant security watch on Maiduguri and neighbouring
communities to prevent future attack,” he said in the statement.
