NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola,

support for ground troops at Damasak, who were in pursuit of the terrorists who had
attempted to breach their location.’’
“The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Mi-35M Helicopter Gunship engaged the group of terrorists’
gun trucks in successive waves of attacks as they retreated, destroying and immobilising
three of them while causing significant damage to others and neutralising several terrorists,”
