Several key Boko Haram Terrorists /ISWAP leaders have been killed and their structures destroyed in air strikes conducted by the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE at Durbada in Borno State.
In a statement issued by the Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche, indicated the operation was executed following credible human intelligence reports, which were confirmed by series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, indicating that the settlement was one of the locations where some of the terrorists’ hierarchy often hibernate.
Fighter jets dispatched by the Air Task Force took turns in attacking the location scoring accurate hits within the target area which resulted in the death of some of the terrorists. Others, who were seen attempting to flee the area, were taken out in follow-on attacks.
The Armed Forces of Nigeria, in furtherance of the objective of restoring peace and security in the North East, will sustain the offensive against the enemies of our Nation.
