That is according to the Nigerian Airforce spokesperson Air Commodore IBUKUNLE DARAMOLA in a statement.
According to him the feat was achieved in devastating air strikes conducted by the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE as part of missions in the ongoing Operation GREEN SWEEP 3.
He added that the target was designated for attack based on credible Intelligence reports, which were further corroborated by series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, which established the settlement as a major hub of Boko Haram activities.
The ATF therefore detailed two Alpha Jets to attack the target area.
The statement said the air strikes were synchronized for maximum effect, recording devastating hits on the Boko Haram hideout killing several of their fighters, as captured in the Battle Damage Assessment.
