The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has recorded
another major breakthrough against remnants of Boko Haram
Terrorists (BHTs) operating in the Sambisa Forest general area of
Borno State.
The operation, which led to the obliteration of a major tactical
command centre as well as the neutralization of several terrorists,
was executed today, 10 June 2019, after persistent Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions led to the
identification of a compound within Alafa on the fringes of the
Sambisa Forest that was being used by the terrorists as a command
post. Accordingly, the ATF dispatched an Alpha Jet to attack the
location.
Overhead the vicinity of interest, the target compound was
spotted with heavy presence of terrorists. The Alpha Jet attacked
the location in successive passes scoring accurate hits on the
target leading to the obliteration of the tactical command centre
and neutralization of several BHT fighters.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its operations to completely degrade the terrorists in the
Northeast.
