The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has
neutralized several Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP)
fighters as they assembled for a meeting at their hideout in
Kolloram on the fringes of Lake Chad in the Northern part of Borno
State.

The operation was conducted on 24 February 2019 following
credible intelligence reports indicating that some of the ISWAP
leaders and fighter had assembled for a meeting in a group of
buildings at the centre of the settlement.

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) platform, which was deployed for confirmatory
surveillance, observed the presence of the terrorists at the
location and subsequently called for 2 Alpha Jet aircraft to attack
the group of buildings.

Bombs from the first Aplha Jet hit the desired mean point of
impact causing damage to the building and neutralizing some of the
terrorists.

Some of the surviving fighters, who formed the outer security
cordon of the meeting venue, were seen engaging the NAF aircraft
with Anti-Aircraft (AA) and small arms fire.

The attack aircraft continued to engage the target area with
bombs and rockets in several passes, mopping-up the terrorists who
survived the initial strikes.

The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in
the Northeast.
