Lets cut out the analytical histrionics. People will rather beat around the bush than give the military the complete credit it deserves, and even when they "reluctantly" do give credit, it is in a fleeting and lacklustre manner.
Operation Barbarosa-like aerial bombardment is responsible for the mass surrender of insurgentsa. Some reporters do not understand war strategy. The NAF was traditionally employed in a supporting capacity. This changed when the army and AF came under a central command. SYNERGY. 
Instead of playing a supporting role,ie primarily contributing airpower to combat operations, the NAF is now used as the tip of the spear of the military's campaign. Relentless strategic airstrikes targeting top commanders and logistic depots weakened the insurgents.
The Nigerian army would not have forced the surrender of now 11,000 insurgents so quickly without the airforce playing the lead role, which provided essential intelligence and precision strikes that bolstered troops confidence and motivation against a fearsome enemy.
