The Nigerian Air Force has said its Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole has destroyed a terrorists’ hideout and killed some of them at Kaicungul, a settlement about 100Km North West of Monguno, in Northern Borno.
News Agency of Nigeria reports that NAF spokesman Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, January 26 in Abuja.
Daramola said the operation was carried out on Friday, January 25.

“ The operation was conducted on Jan. 25, on the heels of credible intelligence indicating that the village was being used as a staging area from where the terrorists assembled to launch attacks against our troops’ locations.
“The ATF therefore detailed an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform for confirmatory surveillance of the location, which observed significant terrorists’ activities in the settlement.
“Accordingly, two Alpha Jet aircraft were scrambled to attack the hideout.
“The two aircraft took turns in attacking the location, recording successful hits on the target, leading to the destruction of some of the structures as well as the neutralisation of some terrorists, ” Daramola said.
