The Nigerian Air Force said on Wednesday that it has destroyed Boko Haram terrorists\u2019 camp and neutralized some of its fighters in a village called Arboko in Borno State.<\/p>\n

The NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola said in a statement that the strikes were launched after an intelligence platform had established the presence of the terrorists in the area.<\/p>\n

Air Commodore Daramola said: \u201cThe Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has decimated a Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) camp and neutralized some of their fighters at a settlement called Arboko in Borno State.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operation was conducted on 18 February 19 while a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet and an Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform were providing close air support to troops of 82 Brigade Nigerian Army.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the course of the operation, the ISR aircraft spotted a group of BHT fighters within Arboko village and vectored the Alpha Jet to engage their camp with rocket fire, thereby degrading the terrorists\u2019 structures and neutralizing some of their fighters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in the Northeast.\u201d<\/p>\n
