NAF destroys Boko Haram terrorists’ food depot, kill scores in Lake Chad

The Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) on Saturday destroyed Boko Haram terrorists’ food depot and killed several during a raid on their enclave at Jubillaram in the Tumbuns area of Lake Chad Basin.

The Nigerian Air Force Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

He said the location served as a critical food storage site and a sanctuary for terrorist commanders and fighters.

The spokesman added that intelligence had previously linked terrorists in the location to recent attacks, including the assault on troops in Kareto on November 16.

Akinboyewa said: “NAF fighter jets, in response, launched a robust air interdiction mission, destroying identified structures used as storage facilities and neutralising terrorists on-site.

“Mop-up operations using cannons ensured the complete elimination of fleeing hostile elements.

“The operation’s success was made possible by extensive Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions conducted over several days, confirming the presence of active terrorist structures camouflaged under dense vegetation.

“The destruction of the terrorist enclave, including food storage facilities, severely disrupted their logistical operations, while the neutralisation of a significant number of fighters diminished their capacity to launch future attacks.”
