Nigerian Air Force Helicopter Chrushes New Boko Haram Camp

The Nigerian Air Force says it has destroyed a new Boko
Haram Terrorist (BHT) Camp located between Malam Fatori
and Kangarwa in Northern Borno.
In an official statement signed by Ayodele Fayimuwa, the
Nigerian Air Force (NAF) disclosed that it has destroyed a
new Boko Haram terrorist camp located between Malam
Fatori and Kangarwa in Northern Borno during a night
operation on Monday.
“The new camp is about 4-6km away from the BHT location
attacked earlier on 20 August 2016 by NAF Mi-17 helicopter
within the same vicinity in a similar night operation that led to
the death of about 300 insurgents.
“The post-strike Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) mission had
revealed that surviving BHTs converged at the new location,”
the NAF spokesperson stated.
It said the information was later confirmed to be true by
series of follow-up Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that led to the latest strike.
“Recall that the general area around Malam Fatori and
Kangarwa is infested with BHTs hence the need to clear the
remnants of BHT in the area.
“The air assault is therefore expected to further degrade the
capability of the insurgents while fostering the creation of the
necessary enablement for own ground troops to operate,” the
statement said.
