The precision airstrikes came barely a week after the Service Chiefs, at the last National Security Council meeting, reassured President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerians that there would be a change in strategy and momentum in the fight against insurgency and terrorism and the Chief of the Air Staff’s directive to Nigerian Air Force operational and air component commanders to ‘show no mercy’ in decimating terrorists and insurgents in the country .
Boss was known to regularly invite terrorist groups from other areas and regions to join him in attacks on targets.
It was also reported that he was part of the terrorist group that carried out attacks that eventually led to the death of the Nigerian Police Area Commander of Dutsin Ma on July 5.
