The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has confirmed the fears of independent security analysts that the terror sect, Boko Haram may be regrouping. At a briefing in Yola, Adamawa State on Thursday, July 27, NAF said the terrorists are gradually returning to Sambisa Forest, their former stronghold.
The Air Component Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, the military operation in the North-East, Air Commodore Tajudeen Yusuf disclosed this to newsmen. Incessant bombardment of the forest by NAF and the efforts of foot troops had flushed the insurgents out of their ‘headquarters.’
According to Dole, on July 3, an air interdiction mission was conducted on Alagarno Camp. Several solar panels were seen on buildings in the location, which indicated that it was being used as a Command and Control facility.
