BARELY two weeks after the appointment
of new Service Chiefs, troops have recaptured Dikwa town in Borno State
from Boko Haram insurgents.
The recapturing was attributed to concerted efforts by the Nigerian Air Force and the Nigerian Army.
A statement last night by the military
said: “A combination of the.....
Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet and
surveillance aircraft jointly destroyed three ambush points heavily
fortified with vehicle-mounted Anti-Aircraft Guns.
“This paved the way for the Nigerian
Army to move in and recapture the town with less resistance. Cordon and
search operations are currently on-going in the town by the Nigerian
Army.
The Director Public Relations of the Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, confirmed the breakthrough by troops.
