The current offensive against the Boko Haram insurgents group by the Nigerian military has yielded more results with the destruction of the sect’s power-generating solar panel in Sambisa forest, the Nigerian Air Force has said.
Giving details of the destruction in a message on Wednesday, spokesman of the Air Force, Dele Alonge said: “the Nigerian Air Force, in its bid to sustain its ongoing air assault against Boko Haram terrorist (BHT), in Sambisa forest has continued to hit vital targets with a view to decimating the capability and resolve of the members to continue to fight.”
:The most recent success is the attack on BHT targets in Ngoshe amd Pulka by alpha jets providing close air support to own ground forces.
Alonge added that: “the targets, which include solar panels believed to be used by the sect to generate electricity within the Sambisa forest, were hit during recent take over of Gmaboru-Ngala by own troops.
It will be recalled that the military had Tuesday announced the successful recapture of Gmaboru-Ngala, Borno State from the occupation of the terrorists.
