The
Nigerian troops located at Goniri in Gujba local government area of Yobe state,
have dealt a deadly blow to Boko Haram terrorists after foiling a heavy attack
launched by the group on trucks this week.
The insurgents had in recent times intensified
attacks on military bases and overran a military base in Kukareta, a village
located about 20 kilometres to Damaturu, Yobo state, where they killed 13
soldiers and a police officer.
“There has been wild celebration in Goniri
currently, none of the insurgents ran away. They were all killed. Their
countless bodies are everywhere right now,” said a security source.
In
a related development, the Nigerian Air Force has given a detailed account of
how the Air Task Force, ATF, of Operation LAFIYA DOLE and Allied Air Forces
provided air support to repel the attack by Boko Haram in Baga. The fishing town was attacked by members of
the Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, on the evening of December
26.
Air
Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information,
gave the account, detailing the dozens of aerial strikes against the positions
of the terrorists.
