The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has decimated a Boko Haram Terrorist camp and neutralized some of their fighters at a settlement called Arboko in Borno State.
The operation was conducted on February 18, 2019, while a Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet and an Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance platform were providing close air support to troops of 82 Brigade Nigerian Army.
In the course of the operation, the ISR aircraft spotted a group of BHT fighters within Arboko village and vectored the Alpha Jet to engage their camp with rocket fire, thereby degrading the terrorists’ structures and neutralizing some of their fighters.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, said it will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the North East.
