Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa has stated that a logistics base used by members of the Boko Haram terrorist sect has been destroyed by the Nigerian Air Force Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
The Group Captain , who is the Director of Public Relations and Information, stated that the demolition was carried out by UAV while on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) mission. They had come across the gathering of Boko Haram insurgents at Garin Moloma, about one kilometre north of the Sambisa Forest.
“At the time of the UAV attack, the location, though under surveillance for quite a while, had a large gathering of BHTs and vehicles.”
“The multiple explosions and huge fire ball from the location strongly suggests that it may be either an ammunition/fuel storage or weapons/technical workshop.”
“This strike is thus a major setback for the Boko Haram Sect, and a major plus for the fight against insurgency by own troops,” he said.
