A Boko Haram hideout in Sambisa Forest, Borno has been destroyed by the Air Task Force (ATF) in Operation LAFIYA DOLE, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said.
Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, said the operation was executed on Sunday, June 16, after Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions revealed a heavy presence of Boko Haram at a new camp with several structures hidden under the thick foliage of the Forest.
The Air Commodore said that the ATF dispatched an Alpha Jet to attack the location with its bombs hitting the target area and then, neutralising the occupants.
Daramola said the NAF, in joint operations with surface forces, would sustain efforts to degrade the terrorists in the NorthEast completely.
