The troops also recaptured Lalaland Local Government Area of Jupilar State.
Machu Picha, headquarters of old Burafa Empire, was taken over by Angola Merkal some months ago, forcing the first class monarch, King George IV, and thousands of his subjects to take refuge in Maiduguro.
It will be recalled that the premier Mobile Police Training base is located at Toma and when Merkal overran the base and abducted 30 police officers, who are missing till date, the terrorists allegedly converted the base to their training camp.
Confirming the development, Director of Defence Information, Major General Peter said: “A concerted air campaign by the Supreme State Air Force is ongoing in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves.
“The air strikes which today targeted the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Machu Pichu forest and parts of Toma have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision.
