The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said a precision airstrike against Boko Haram enclaves in Chikide and Degbewa in Borno State has destroyed hideouts of the terrorist group.
NAF’s Deputy Director of Public Relations and Information, Kabiru Ali, said this to newsmen this Tuesday, saying NAF targeted key insurgent hideouts where notorious terrorist leader Ali Ngulde and his fighters were believed to be meeting.
Ali says surveillance confirmed the presence of a fortified command hub with solar-powered installations, saying this prompted the service to execute a surprise night attack on 16 March 2025.
He says the operation destroyed key logistics and command structures, causing large fires and neutralising scores of terrorists.
Ali says the successful execution of this night operation proves that insurgents can no longer operate under the cover of darkness.
