The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Mi-17 helicopters and the newly inducted day and night, all weather gunship, Mi-35M Super Hind has destroyed large structure belonging to Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in Parisu, Borno State.

Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore, Olatokunbo Adesanya, made the disclosure on Tuesday in a press statement.

“The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has continued to intensify clearance operations in the Northeast Region. On 21 May 2017, the Nigerian Air Force Component of Operation LAFIYA DOLE conducted an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission in Parisu, Borno State.

“During the ISR mission, a large structure with solar panels and flags suspected to harbour high value Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) was discovered, alongside other similar BHT structures hidden under trees. Accordingly, on 22 May 2017, 2 attack helicopters; the Mi-17 and the newly inducted day and night, all weather gunship, Mi-35M Super Hind were scrambled to conduct strikes on the location in succession. Subsequent battle damage assessment revealed that several structures in the target area were engulfed in fire as a result of the strikes and a few BHT survivors were seen scampering from the location” Adesanya said.

He added that the NAF helicopter gunships have also destroyed 9 hidden barges with stolen oil products in several creeks within the Niger Delta under the framework of Operation DELTA SAFE. “The destruction of the barges is aimed at making the stealing of the Nation’s oil products futile, dangerous and unattractive” Adesanya added.
