The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said on Tuesday that its attack aircraft detailed by the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole have destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) Camp at Abulam, a settlement on the fringes of the Allagarno Forest, in Borno State.
A statement by Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola said “The operation was executed on 22 September 2019 after series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
He said the ISR revealed that some buildings within the settlement were being used by the terrorists to store their supplies and other resources.

“The ATF therefore dispatched helicopter gunships and ground attack aircraft to engage the location in successive strikes, scoring devastating hits on the target area leading to destruction of several of the buildings and neutralization of their BHT occupants.
“The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the Northeast.”
“It would also be highly appreciated if the attached short video clip, which is now declassified, is shown to the general public for them to witness part of the attack.”
