Boko Haram Hideouts In Borno Destroyed By The Nigerian Air Force

The Nigerian Air Force in Maiduguri said that it had destroyed suspected Boko Haram hideouts following a raid in some parts of Borno.

In a statement, spokesperson of the group, Squadron Leader Chris Erondu said the raid followed surveillance in the certain areas of the state.

Erondu stated, “Sequel to intelligence reports, the 79 Composite Group, in conjunction with 75 Strike Group, Yola, carried out air surveillance interdiction and raid on identified Boko Haram hideouts.

“‘The operation was conducted in Bulabulim, Yujiwa-Alagarno, all located around Damboa axis of Borno State”
