The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) sustained onslaught against
remnants of Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) Boko
Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in the Northeast of the Country has again
yielded significant results with the destruction of another ISWAP
hideout and neutralization of several of their fighters at Kirta
Wulgo on the fringes of Lake Chad in Borno State.

The air strike was conducted by the Air Task Force (ATF) of
Operation LAFIYA DOLE yesterday, 4 October 2019, after persistent
Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions
revealed that the settlement was being used as a staging area from
where the terrorists launch attacks against own troops’
positions.

Consequently, the ATF dispatched its aircraft to attack
identified compounds within the settlement. Overhead the target
area, scores of ISWAP fighters were observed attempting to flee
upon sighting the attack platforms. The aircraft took turns in
engaging the location, scoring accurate hits which led to the
destruction of some structures as well as the killing of several
terrorists.

The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in
the Northeast.
