Military airstrikes conducted by the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole has destroyed Bukar Meram, a major logistics hub of the Islamic State of West African Province ISWAP linking other island settlements of the Lake Chad.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Major General JOHN ENENCHE, who added that some unidentified key leaders of the terror group were also killed in the attack.

The Bukur Meram facility located on the fringes of the Lake Chad in Borno, which houses several of the ISWAP fighters and some of their key leaders, came under heavy bombardment after Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions showed a buildup of activities in the area after the relocation of some terrorists from nearby settlements.
