“The operation, which led to the obliteration of a major tactical command centre as well as the neutralization of several terrorists in Alafa, was executed today, 10 June 2019 after persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions led to the identification of a compound within Alafa on the fringes of the Sambisa Forest that was being used by the terrorists as a command post.
Accordingly, the ATF dispatched an Alpha Jet to attack the location.
Overhead the vicinity of interest, the target compound was spotted with heavy presence of terrorists. The Alpha Jet attacked the location in successive passes scoring accurate hits on the target leading to the obliteration of the tactical command centre and neutralization of several Boko Haram fighters.
