Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Air Force, NAF, says the air component of operations Hadarin Daji and Hadin Kai have eliminated 30 terrorists in airstrikes in their hideouts in Katsina and Borno.<\/p>\n

The Director, Public Relations and Information, NAF, AVM Edward Gabkwet, made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Gabkwet said the airstrikes undertaken by the air component of Operation Hadarin Daji in North West on May 27, eliminated several terrorists loyal to a notorious terrorist kingpin known as Babura.<\/p>\n

He said the strikes were conducted around Bakai, Bakarya, and Yartsintsiya bandits\u2019 hideouts in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina.<\/p>\n

According to him, credible intelligence received after the strikes reveals that about 30 terrorists were confirmed to have been neutralized.<\/p>\n

He said it was also confirmed that Babura narrowly escaped being eliminated, while most of his foot soldiers were killed.<\/p>\n

Gabkwet said that similar airstrikes were also carried out by the air component of Operation Hadin Kai the same day at Tumbun Fulani, near Lake Chad, against terrorists at a once abandoned hideout.<\/p>\n

He said the strikes were authorized after Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions observed a pattern that was consistent with the relocation of terrorists to new hideouts and movement of their logistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecall that this same location was struck by NAF aircraft on Sept. 26 and Sept. 28, 2023 with several terrorists eliminated and their logistics and mobilities destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat these remnants of terrorists have returned to their once-destroyed enclave, is indicative of the successes being recorded by both air and ground troops in flushing them out of their various hideouts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
