Air Force Kills ‘Several’ Boko Haram Terrorists In Borno

Several Boko Haram terrorists have been killed by an operation carried out by the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole against their hideouts in Borno State.

The Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche, said the operation was carried out at their hideouts at Kote Kura and Bulama Isamari areas of Borno.

He said this in a statement he issued on Sunday.

“In continuation of the series of Air Interdiction missions being conducted to rid the North East of the Country of terrorist elements, the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has taken out more Boko Haram Terrorists’ (BHTs’) hideouts and eliminated several of their fighters at 2 locations – Kote Kura and Bulama Isamari – both in Borno State,” the statement partly read.

Enenche said that NAF aircraft attacked the terrorists after their base was spotted.

He said the operation followed credible intelligence that the insurgents “had recently established camps at the two settlements, where they store their logistics items as well as plan and launch attacks.”

“In the same vein, at Bulama Isamari, within the Timbuktu Traingle, the NAF aircraft took turns in engaging the target, scoring accurate hits which equally resulted in the neutralisation of several terrorists,” the defence spokesman added.
