The ATF, after conducting series of confirmatory aerial surveillance missions, Emergency Digest learnt, dispatched an appropriate force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) helicopter gunships for a night air raid on the location.
The helicopters, according Enenche, scored devastating hits in the target area which led to the neutralization of several BHTs.

“Several other terrorists were taken out in follow-on attacks by the helicopter gunships,” he said.
