NAF Shells Boko Haram Terrorists at Bogum
The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has decimated
a Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) hideout and neutralized several
terrorists at Bogum in Northern Borno State. The attack was carried
out on 14 October 2018, after intelligence reports indicated
significant BHT activities within the settlement.
The ATF scrambled two Mi-35 Helicopter Gunships to engage and
destroy the identified BHT positions in the village. Overhead the
target, the concentration areas of the BHTs were attacked in
successive waves by the helicopters with direct hits recorded on
the targets, leading to the neutralization of several BHTs. The few
surviving BHTs were tracked and mopped up in subsequent follow on
attacks.
The NAF, working in concert with surface forces, will sustain
the tempo of operations with a view to destroying all remnants of
the terrorists on the fringes of Lake Chad and other areas in
Northern Borno.
