NAF destroys ISWAP hiding place

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

The Nigerian Air Force has destroyed the hideout of terrorists in the northern part of Borno State from an Islamic State of the West African Province.

The NAF also said some of the ISWAP fighters at Arrinna Ciki on the Lake Chad fringes in the same region were neutralized.

This was disclosed in a statement in Abuja on Sunday by Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF’s director of public relations and media.

He said the mission was carried out through Mission LAFIYA DOLE’s Air Task Force (ATF).

“This was accomplished through air strikes conducted on November 1 and 2 sequel to intelligence reports indicating that the terrorists were using the settlement as a staging area to launch attacks against our forces.

“The air strike on November 1 was initiated when a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform, on confirmatory reconnaissance mission, spotted some ISWAP vehicles under some trees in the area.

“Accordingly, the ATF scrambled its fighter jets to attack the location, recording successful strikes to immobilise the vehicles.

“Similarly, a follow-up attack was executed on November 2 after significant activity was observed in another part of the settlement.

“This occasioned the detailing of attack aircraft to engage the identified areas resulting in the destruction of some terrorists’ structures as well as the neutralisation of some of their fighters,” he said.

Daramola said the NAF would continue its efforts to completely destroy all the remains of the terrorists in the North East.
