Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information who announced this in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said the operation was conducted on Thursday. Daramola explained that the air strike which was conducted on Thursday followed Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
