The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), made it known that Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, has degraded another Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) hideout in the Sambisa Forest, in Borno State.
Air Commodore identified as Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, who disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, says the operation was conducted on Sunday.
The operation was executed on 16th of June 2019, after persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions reveal heavy presence of BHTs at a new camp with several structures hidden under the thick foliage of the Forest.
Accordingly, the (ATF) dispatched an Alpha Jet to attack the location.
“Its bombs hit the target area, with devastating effects on several of the camouflaged structures, neutralising their BHT occupants,” he said.
Daramola made it known that The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), operating in concert with surface forces, would sustain efforts to completely degrade the terrorists in the Northeast.
