The Air Task Force (ATF) of “Operation LAFIYA DOLE” has destroyed Boko Haram terrorists’ hideouts in Alagarno, including a compound housing some high-value Boko Haram terrorists’ (BHT) leaders in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.
Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters, Major General John Enenche, said the compound, concealed under thick vegetation and located 2.3Km North East of KAFA, was being used by the terrorists to coordinate their nefarious activities.
Enenche said the destruction of the locations was achieved through multiple air strikes executed on 6 January 2021 as the ATF dispatched appropriate force packages of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and attack helicopters to engage the target areas in day and night raids.
He said the Boko Haram terrorists were spotted under the dense vegetation of the locations and the NAF attack aircraft took turns in engaging the targets, neutralizing several of them.
Enenche said the Armed Forces of Nigeria would not relent until all enemies of the Nation were neutralised and normalcy was restored to all troubled zones.
