The Nigerian Air Force has destroyed a new Boko Haram Camp which was located between Malam Fatori and Kangarawa in the north of Borno State.

In a statement, The Director of Information and Public Relations Officer of the NAF, Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa on tuesday 30th of August, said that the camp was destroyed during a night operation carried out with attack helicopters of the service on Monday 29th of August.

He said that the new camp is about 4-6km away from the BHT location attacked earlier on August 20, 2016 by NAF Mi-17 helicopter within the same vicinity in a similar night operation that led to the death of about 300 insurgents.

He stated: “The post-strike Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) mission had revealed that surviving BHTs converged at the new location”.
