The Defence Headquarters on Thursday said the claim that the Chadian military had conducted air strikes against six terrorist camps in Nigeria was not correct.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade.
Olukolade said the fact was that the Nigerian Airforce surveillance mission identified targets tagged: Camp 6 around Bosso town which was not within Nigerian territory ``and alerted the partners, accordingly’’.
He said the places reported to have been struck by the Chadians were therefore most likely to be in Niger Republic and not Nigeria as widely reported in the international media.
