In a statement issued on Tuesday,  Alonge said the successful strikes  by the Nigerian Air Force came as a result of what he called,  a painstaking Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) efforts by the NAF’s Unmanned Aerial vehicle (UAV) and ATR-42 platforms.

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar  said  the capabilities of the insurgents  have been further degraded.

He said this will  pave the way for the final onslaught by the land forces to meet the Commander-in-Chief, President Mohammadu Buhari’s directives to bring insurgency in the North-East to an end.
