Using a mix of bombs and rockets, the aircraft carried out series of strikes and scored devastating hits on the targets, killing scores of them and  leaving some survivors scrambling for their lives.

“ The aircraft also destroyed several motorcycles and weapons of the terrorists,” an intelligence source said. 

It was gathered that scores of the  terrorists are currently on the run following the offensive, while some of the surviving fighters and their families who escaped the onslaught were forced to lay down their arms and surrendered to the troops of 21 Amoured Brigade, Bama.

In a related development,  at least six members of the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) have been killed by their rival Boko Haram group in a fresh reprisal clash in Burmari village of Konduga local government.

It was gathered that the Boko Haram terrorists who had been at the receiving end in the long week multiple clashes, ambushed the ISWAP fighters who were determined to decimate them from some of their acclaimed strong holds. 

Competent sources disclosed that in the deadly fight that ensued, the Boko Haram overpowered the rival faction, killing six of them and recovering three of their motorcycles while some of them were reportedly  injured.

The sources said the ISWAP terrorists were forced to withdraw to Hasanari village in Konduga.

The ISWAP had earlier attacked the convoy of the Boko Haram’s newly appointed  Amir Jaysh, Alhaji Ali Hajja Fusam, and killed 15 of his fighters including one Abu Zara, a Naqib, and seized a gun truck from him in Gulmari, forcing the Boko Haram to withdraw. 

On  Wednesday, the terrorists clashed at  Kuwa Nguro and Ngoldiri villages located in the axis of  Timbuktu  triangle in Damboa, Borno State, leading to the death of scores of fighters.
