The Nigerian Air Force Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has
destroyed a logistics base used by members of the Boko Haram terrorists
group.
The UAV was on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR),
mission when it came across the gathering of Boko Haram terrorists at
Garin Moloma, about one kilometre north of the Sambisa Forest.
A statement issued by the Director of...
Public Relations and Information,
Group Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa said the strike is a major setback for
the Boko Haram Sect and a major plus for the fight against insurgency by
the Nigerian troops.
“The multiple explosions and huge fire ball from the location, as can be
seen from the enclosed video of the UAV strike, strongly suggests that
it may be either an ammunition/fuel storage or weapons/technical
workshop,” Famuyiwa said.
According to Famuyiwa, at the time of the UAV attack, the location,
though under surveillance for quite a while, had a large gathering of
Boko Haram terrorists and vehicles.
