There were reports Tuesday, that Cameroonian air force jets
on Monday launched air strikes on scores of Boko Haram terrorists who occupied
a military base in Northern Cameroon and bombed them on the Nigerian side, that
report carries error.
According to Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters, the air strikes
that killed Boko Haram terrorists in the said confrontation at the Nigerian
divide of the border town with Cameroon was carried out by Nigerian Airforce
fighter aircraft.
Read what Defence Spokesman, Major General Chris Olukolade said:
“Ongoing highly Coordinated Air operation is being conducted
by the Nigeria Air force. No indication of any Foreign Force engaging in any
part of Nigeria. We will investigate claims of Airstrikes by a Foreign Force on
our Soil. This serves to satisfy peddlers of strange claims and stories”
“What could be the motive of Foreign Media outfits peddling
false/exaggerated claims of a neighboring Army’s exploits on Nigerian soil?”
