Airforce jet destroys Boko Haram gun trucks
[PMNEWSNIGERIA] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says its Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation ’Lafiya Dole’ has destroyed two Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
Terrorists’ (BHTs) gun trucks and killed some fighters at Borgozo in Borno.

Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, disclosed this in a statement, on Friday, in Abuja.

He explained that this was achieved when NAF Jets and a helicopter gunship were scrambled to provide close air support to ground troops as they repelled a BHT attack on the location.

"The aircraft, upon arrival overhead the target area, tracked and engaged three of the BHT gun trucks that were involved in the attack. The BHTs moved the vehicles under some trees, while some of the fighters alighted the vehicles and attempted to escape into the surrounding bushes" he said.

"The attack aircraft engaged them, scoring accurate hits on two vehicles, which were seen engulfed in flames, and neutralising some of the fleeing terrorists," he added.

Daramola said the Nigerian airforce, operating in concert with surface forces, would sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the holy warriors in the North East.
