About 37 ISWAP/BokoHaram terrorists have been eliminated in a major joint military operation by the Air taskforce and ground troops of the Nigerian military at Bula Yobe, PRNigeria has gathered.

This development is coming as offensive airstrikes by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) attack jets destroyed dozens of terrorists’ camps at Abadam axis and Sambisa Forest.

PRNigeria gathered that accurate intelligence-led airstrikes coordinated by the Air Task Force Command attacked the hideouts of ISWAP elements in Jabullam and Yauma Wango in Abadam Local Government Area and Parisu in Sambisa Forest on Wednesday.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jets dispatched by the ATF Command scored accurate hits on the targeted locations, obliterating and killing scores of the terrorists in the general areas.

The operation, which was efficiently coordinated by the Air Task Force and ground troops, resulted in the neutralization of the terrorists’ elements. We have also sustained aerial bombardments to rout the fleeing ISWAP-Boko Haram criminals, he told PRNigeria.
