“The location lies between Tumbum Rego and Malkonory and is about 25km from Kangarwa where own surface forces are currently harboured,” said Group Captain, Ayodele Famuyiwa, the Director of Public Relations and Information of the Force.
He said the location harboured Boko Haram makeshift structures and about four to six clusters of solar panels used by the terrorists to power communication equipment and lighting.
“The latest strike is part of the air operations conducted by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in support of the efforts by own surface forces and the Multi National Joint Task Force to rid the northern part of Borno of the remnants BHTs in an operation codenamed ‘OPERATION GAMA AIKI’,” he added.
