Troops Destroys Terrorists Hideouts In Borno State.

The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE under subsidiary Operation WUTAR TABKI has destroyed terrorists’ hideouts and neutralized several fighters at Ngwuri Gana along the Gulumba Gana-Kumshe axis as well as at Jumacheri near Damasak in the Northern part of Borno State.

The Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche said “this was achieved through separate air interdiction missions carried out on the heels of Human Intelligence reports as well as series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions indicating that several terrorists had assembled at the 2 locations in preparation to launch attacks against nearby troops’ positions.”

Enenche noted that the hits by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships dispatched by the Air Task Force to attack the two target areas resulted in the destruction of some structures as well as the neutralization of dozens of terrorists.
