The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has destroyed a major terrorist enclave used as a training ground in Bukar Meram, on the southern flank of the Lake Chad region, Borno State.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, on Monday in Abuja.
Ejodame said the operation was conducted on Monday, following credible intelligence on plans by the terrorists to attack the Marte and Monguno communities.
