ATF raid kills ISWAP fighters

A raid by the Air Task Force of operation Lafiya Dole, has led to the death of some Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters.

This is contained in a statement by the Nigerian air force director of public relations and information, air commodore Ibikunle Daramola.

The statement says the insurgents convened to meet at their hideout in Kollaram, on the fringes of Lake Chad in the northern part of Borno state.

The operation followed credible intelligence reports indicating that some of the ISWAP leaders had assembled for a meeting in one of 2 buildings at the centre of the settlement.

The Nigerian air force jets dispatched by the ATF to attack the location scored accurate hits on the target building completely obliterating it and killing its terrorists’ occupants.

Ibikunle assured that the NAF will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the northeast.
