The 79 Composite Group of the Nigerian Air Force in Maiduguri says it has destroyed suspected Boko Haram hideouts.
According to spokesman for the group, Squadron Leader Chris Erondu, the hideouts were destroyed during a raid on some parts of the state.
“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”, Erondu said in a reelease.
“The operation was conducted in Bulabulim,Yujiwa-Alagarno, all located around Damboa axis of Borno State. The results of these air operations have been remarkable, as the insurgents have retreated to neighbouring countries of Cameroun, Chad and Niger Republic and have suffered heavy casualties”.
He added that the groups have also maintained constant security watch on Maiduguri and neighbouring communities to prevent future attack.
