Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Maj. John Enenche said the air strikes were executed on 1 October 2020.
According to him, the feat was achieved due to credible Human Intelligence reports as well as series of aerial surveillance missions, “which indicated that the locations were being used as rendezvous points by the terrorists.”
“Accordingly, the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole dispatched an appropriate force package of NAF fighter jets and helicopter gunships to engage the two locations, ” Enenche said, “the attack aircraft scored devastating hits in the target areas, destroying some structures and neutralizing several of the terrorists.”
