The Armed Forces of Nigeria have recorded another significant success in the fight against terrorism in the North-East as the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole, on the 1st of September 2020, destroyed several compounds housing ISWAP fighters at Kaza, Borno State, neutralizing several fighters in the process.
This development was conveyed through a Press Release signed by the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations on 2nd September 2020.
According to the statement, "In continuation of the sustained offensive against criminal elements in the North East of the Country, the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has eliminated some Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists and destroyed compounds housing them at Kaza along the Gulumba Gana - Kumshe axis of Borno State."
" The airstrike was executed on 1 September 2020 following credible Human Intelligence reports as well as confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions indicating a resurgence of terrorist activities in the settlement. The identified locations within the settlement were therefore attacked by fighter jets and helicopter gunships dispatched by the Air Task Force, resulting in the destruction of the structures and the neutralization of some of the ISWAP fighters.
