Meram
In continuation of the sustained onslaught against terrorist
elements in the Northeast of the Country, the Air Task Force (ATF)
of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has neutralized several Islamic State of
West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters at Bukar Meram on the fringes
of Lake Chad in the northern part of Borno State.
The operation was executed yesterday, 21 October 2019, based on
credible intelligence reports that indicated a resumption of the
use of the location to provide logistics support to the terrorists,
using fishing activities as a cover.
Accordingly, the ATF dispatched its attack aircraft to engage
designated areas within the settlement.
Before the strikes, over 35 terrorists were observed within the
area of interest.
The attack aircraft subsequently engaged the location in
successive passes recording accurate hits on the target area,
leading to the neutralization of several ISWAP fighters as well as
the destruction of some of the structures.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in
the Northeast.
