The Armed Forces of Nigeria on Monday said Nigerian Air Force (NAF) airstrikes killed Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) and destroyed their gun trucks at Ajiri in Borno State.
Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche, said in a statement that the operation took place on Saturday night.
According to the statement by General Enenche, “the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has dealt yet another blow on insurgents operating in the North East of the Country, with the elimination of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) and destruction of their gun trucks at Ajiri in Borno State.
“This was achieved on the night of 19 December 2020 sequel to reports that the terrorists, in about 7 gun trucks, had attempted to breach Ajiri, a settlement in Mafa Local Government Area of the State.
“Accordingly, the Air Task Force dispatched an appropriate force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) helicopter gunships to engage the BHTs.
“The NAF gunships delivered accurate hits, destroying 2 of the gun trucks and neutralizing several terrorists.”
