Insurgency: Troops Kill Terrorists, Destroy Camp In Borno, Says DHQ

The Defence Headquarters said on Wednesday that troops of the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole, killed some Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Borno State.

Defence Spokesman, John Enenche, said in a statement that the compounds housing the terrorists at Kaza along the Gulumba Gana – Kumshe axis of the state were destroyed.

This came weeks after the air task force attacked an ISWAP camp at Tongule in the Lake Chad area of the state and killed scores of the terrorists.

Enenche did not mention the number of the terrorists killed.

According to him, the air strike was executed following credible intelligence reports .

He added: “The identified locations within the settlement were therefore attacked by fighter jets and helicopter gun ships dispatched by the Air Task Force, resulting in the destruction of the structures and the neutralisation of some of the ISWAP fighters.”
