The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Hadin Kai has destroyed the very critical armory of the Boko Haram terrorists at
Amchile within the Gezuwa area around BAMA Local Government Area.

The operation was conducted on December 9 at about 1900 a.m. after intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions revealed the presence of large numbers in the location.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency Expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, that the ISR platform attacked the target area in multiple waves, killing scores of terrorists in addition to the armory destroyed.

He said that the first wave of attacks recorded direct hits on a suspected Boko Haram ammunition dump, sending it up in flames, adding that the few surviving BHTs that were seen fleeing the area were mopped up in follow-up attacks.
