In continuation of its sustained efforts to wipe out remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in the Northeast Nigeria, the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has killed several terrorists and destroyed their hideouts at Alafa, a settlement in the fringes of Sambisa forest.
The air strike was conducted Friday, according to NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, following Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that revealed the presence of the terrorists, along with their logistics supplies and equipment, in a group of structures within the settlement.
“The ATF dispatched two Alpha Jets to attack the location, scoring accurate hits in the target area, which led to the destruction of some of the structures and equipment as well as killing of several terrorists,” Daramola said.
He said the Air Force which is operating in conjunction with the ground forces, would sustain its operations against the terrorists in the Northeast.
