The Defence Headquarters says the Air Task Force of
Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD), has destroyed compounds housing Boko Haram
Terrorists leaders at Bulawa, on the fringes of the Sambisa Forest in Borno
State.
The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John
Enenche, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Enenche said the airstrikes were executed on April 21 based
on credible human intelligence as well as Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance missions that led to the identification of the target compounds
within the settlement.
He explained that the fighter jets dispatched by the Air
Task Force to take out the compounds scored accurate hits in the target area,
leading to the destruction of some of the structures.
According to him, some of the terrorists occupying the
compounds were neutralized in the attack.
“Boko Haram fighters, who attempted to reposition to engage
the attacking aircraft, were mopped-up in follow-on attacks by the jets.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria in furtherance of the objective
of restoring peace and security in the North East, will sustain the offensive
against the enemies of our nation,” he said.
