The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole, has hit another Boko Haram insurgents’ structure at Warshale in Borno, killing scores of the insurgents in recent air strikes.

Enenche said the mission was executed after credible intelligence reports and series of aerial surveillance missions established that the settlement was one of those being used by the terrorists as staging area to launch attacks.

According to him, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and attack helicopters engaged the location and recorded devastating hits resulting in the obliteration of several structures and killing of some of the insurgents.

“The Armed Forces of Nigeria, operating in concert with other security agencies and stakeholders, will sustain its efforts to rid the North East of all insurgents and other criminal elements,” he said.
