The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says its precision air strikes have neutralised scores of terrorists at Metele in the Northern Tumbuns area of the Lake Chad Basin.
This is contained in a statement on Thursday in Abuja by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF Headquarters, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame.
Ejodame said that the operation was conducted in the early hours of Wednesday.
He also said that the operation was launched after credible intelligence and subsequent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions confirmed the presence of a senior terrorist commander, terrorist hideouts, and heightened terrorist activity within the area.
