In a fresh onslaught the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) air crafts have killed three terrorist kingpins and 30 of their foot soldiers in Borno State.
The terrorist kingpins – Ali Dawud, Mallam Ari and Bakurah Fallujah, along with their fighters, were killed on April 13 at the hideouts of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) within Kolleram village, along the shores of Lake Chad, according to a statement yesterday by NAF’s spokesperson, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet.
Gabkwet disclosed the strikes also destroyed many terrorists’ vehicles, motorcycles, and logistical assets.
The statement reads: “Intelligence gathered after the air strike further indicated that the aerial bombardment obliterated a key facility within the Kolleram enclave, which served as a hub for the terrorists’ food processing activities, including grinding machines.
“The strikes severely hampered their operational capabilities. The success of these airstrikes underscores NAF’s commitment to eradicating terrorism and ensuring the safety and security of Nigerian. By neutralizing key terrorist figures and destroying their logistical infrastructure, the operation has significantly degraded the capabilities.
