The Defence Headquarters says the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has eliminated scores of terrorists in multiple air strikes on Sambisa forest.

The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche made this known in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

Enenche said the air raids were conducted at Bone and Mudu in Yale-Kumshe axis as well as ‘S’ Region in Sambisa Forest on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2.

He said the raid was carried out after series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

According to him, the intelligence reports revealed the three locations were being used as staging areas where the terrorists store their weapons and logistics items as well as plan and launch attacks.

“The NAF attack aircraft engaged the target areas in successive passes, leading to the destruction of some of their structures and logistics stores as well as the neutralisation of several of the insurgents.

“A suspected anti-aircraft gun station was also recovered,” he said.
