According to Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu, the Nigerian Air Force's fighters in the North-East of the country had been able to do considerable damage to the operations of Boko Haram insurgents in the area.


Speaking at the graduation ceremony of Course 2/2014 of the Nigerian Armed Forces Re­settlement Centre (NAFRC), Amosu said the efforts of the Nigerian Air Force and the other arms of the armed forces had decimated Boko Haram insurgents, weakened their capabilities and destroyed their supply lines.


He said the Nigerian Air Force had been able to provide strategic and tactical airlift for the armed forces to be able to combat insurgency within the North-East of the country.


Amosu added that the Nigerian Air Force had been able to support the operations of the military through the airlifting of troops and ability to drop supplies where needed.


He said despite the pressure from the civil populace for a quick resolution of the crisis, the officers and men of the armed forces were not relenting in their efforts to flush out the insurgents in the North-East.
