The Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has killed several Boko haram terrorists when the Nigerian Air Force fighter jets bombed their meeting venue at Boboshe a location at the fringes of the Sambisa forest.
NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola disclosed this Monday in a statement.
He said the attack was conducted on Sunday following “successive days of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, coupled with Human Intelligence reports, that established that a building within the settlement was being used as a rendezvous by the terrorists where their commanders assemble to take instructions before launching attacks against own troops and innocent civilians.”
“Accordingly, the ATF detailed its fighter aircraft to attack the hideout, scoring accurate hits within the designated area leading to the decimation of the target structure. Several terrorists were also killed as a result of the strikes,” he said.
Daramola said the Nigerian Air Force is operating in concert with ground forces, and would sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the North-east.
