The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has neutralised scores of terrorists and destroyed their hideouts in separate air strikes conducted at Durbada (also known as Bula Mongoro), Abaganaram and Tumbun Rego in Borno State.

NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, disclosing this in a statement in Abuja said the air raids were conducted by the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole between Sept. 13 and Sept. 20.

Daramola said that the raids were carried out based on credible Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that identified locations within the settlements that served as hideouts for the terrorists.

Daramola said the service would sustain the tempo of effort, operating in concert with surface forces to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the North East of the country.
