The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has recorded
another major feat with the destruction of an Islamic State of West
Africa Province (ISWAP) training camp near Mallam Fatori on the
fringes of Lake Chad in the Northern part of Borno Sate.
The operation was executed on 10 September 2019, based on
credible intelligence reports and confirmatory Intelligence
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that identified a
building on one of the Lake Chad islands that was being used by the
terrorists as a facility to indoctrinate and train new
fighters.
The ATF therefore dispatched its aircraft to attack the
location, which upon arrival over the target area observed
significant activity of the terrorists. The attack aircraft scored
devastating hits on the building completely destroying it and
neutralizing the ISWAP occupants.
The few other fighters seen fleeing the location were mopped-up
by follow-on attacks.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its operations against the terrorists in the Northeast.
