Air interdiction missions being conducted by the Air Task Force of “Operation LAFIYA DOLE” have achieved the destruction of Boko Haram terrorists’ new settlement at MANA WAJI in Borno State.
In a statement, Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters, Major General John Enenche, said the air strikes, which were executed employing a force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships, were carried out after a series of aerial surveillance missions revealed that the new settlement was being used to store their weapons and logistics items and as well as plan and stage attacks.
Enenche said on sighting the NAF aircraft, the insurgents were seen fleeing the location.
He said in a preemptive move, the NAF attack aircraft engaged the new location in successive passes, leading to the destruction of some of the structures and logistics stores.
