NAF Remote Aircraft Destroys Terrorists Vehicle in Sambisa

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said that its Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), on January 15, 2018, successfully destroyed an emerging Boko Haram terrorists’ vehicle workshop in the Sambisa general area. 

This was contained in a statement issued by the Director, Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Olatokunbo Adesanya in which he also said the NAF Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), platform had previously discovered that Boko Haram vehicles were parked in the location.

Adesanya further said; “Consequently, a NAF RPA was detailed to conduct armed reconnaissance in search of Boko Haram vehicles and terrorists around the location, which was apparently being used as a vehicle workshop. 

“The RPA discovered that BHT motorcycles and vehicles, including a BHT Commander’s vehicle were parked in the targeted area. Additionally, several terrorists were seen moving intermittently within the targeted area. 

“The subsequent air strike by the NAF RPA resulted in the immediate destruction of the vehicles in the targeted location, killing all the BHTs inside it, as no survivors were seen scampering from the location after impact.”
