In a related development the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said it has continued aerial bombardment of Sambisa forest, with over 280 operational strikes organised against the insurgent targets in the area in the last one month.
Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, the deputy Air Theatre Commander of Operation, Lafiya Dole, said that the air raids and bombardments were led by the air component of the operation Lafiya Dole in the north-east.
He said that the current air operations and surveillance within the theater of operation in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states were strengthened between December 2015 and January 2016 towards wiping out the deadly sect.
Several other air bombardments were carried out in and around the Sambisa forest region, further reducing the capacity of the insurgents.
