NIGERIAN ARMY DESTROYS BOKO HARAM TRAINING CAMP
The Nigerian Air Force says its Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorist Training Camp in Malkonory and also destroyed a BHT vehicle near Tumbun Rego in Northern Borno.
Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, said the operation was carried out on October 11.
The Nigerian Air Force says its Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorist Training Camp in Malkonory and also destroyed a BHT vehicle near Tumbun Rego in Northern Borno.
“The attack on the Training Camp was undertaken October 11, on the heels of credible intelligence reports indicating that several structures, cleverly camouflaged under thick vegetation in the settlement, were being used to harbour and train BHT fighters,” he said.
Daramola said that a NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platform subsequently confirmed features such as training dummies and trenches along with a large number of adult males within the camp.
