The Nigeria Air Force (NAF) on Thursday said on day three of the Operation Green Sweep, the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) Logistics Base at Kusuma in Northern Borno.
A statement by Air Force spokesman Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola said the air strikes were conducted on the heels of credible intelligence reports indicating that the BHTs had resumed using the previously abandoned settlement and established a Logistics Base to support their operations in the fringes of Lake Chad.
He added that extensive Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions later identified two compounds within the village that were the main logistics hubs in the town.
He said the ATF dispatched two Alpha Jet aircraft to attack the settlement, recording direct hits on the target buildings and facilities with huge balls of fires seen.
He noted that the NAF, working in concert with surface forces, will sustain the tempo of operations with a view to destroying all remnants of the terrorists in Borno State.
