The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has degraded
an Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) Terrorists’
hideout and neutralized some of their fighters at Tumbun Zarami in
the Northern part of Borno State.

This was accomplished through air strikes conducted on 8 April
2019, as part of the ongoing air campaign of Operation YANCIN
TAFKI, which is aimed at flushing out ISWAP elements from islands
on the fringes of the Lake Chad.

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) platform, on a routine reconnaissance mission,
observed significant presence of ISWAP fighters in the settlement,
with several structures and equipment spotted beneath the thick
vegetation of the area.

Accordingly, the ATF scrambled 2 NAF Alpha Jets to attack the
location, recording successful strikes on the terrorists’
structures and neutralizing several of their fighters. The attached
short video clip, now declassified, shows some portions of the
attack which may be viewed by the general public.

The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its operations to completely degrade the terrorists in the
Northeast.
