The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has announced another breakthrough in the ongoing campaign against insurgents in the North East, saying its fighter aircraft destroyed a terrorist hideout and eliminated several fighters during a precision operation in Borno State.
The operation, carried out on Friday by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, targeted Yaganari in the Gezuwa general area following intelligence reports of renewed terrorist activity.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said extensive surveillance confirmed the presence of terrorists, their facilities and logistics bases before the strikes were authorised.
“Acting on credible intelligence on renewed terrorist activities and the concentration of fighters in the area, the Air Component conducted intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions which confirmed the presence of terrorist structures and logistics hubs,” Ejodame said.
He added: “The targets were subsequently engaged in a series of precision strikes, leading to the destruction of terrorist infrastructure and the neutralization of several terrorists.”
According to him, the latest operation highlights the increasing pressure being exerted on insurgent groups across the region.
“The successful operation further underscores the growing pressure being mounted on terrorist elements, whose freedom of movement and ability to regroup continue to be severely degraded by sustained air offensives,” he said.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, praised the officers and personnel who participated in the mission, commending their professionalism and commitment.
He also reaffirmed the Air Force’s determination to sustain aggressive operations against terrorists and other threats to national security.
“The Nigerian Air Force will continue to deliver decisive air power in concert with surface forces to hunt down, disrupt and destroy terrorist elements wherever they may seek refuge,” the air chief said.Nigeria Investment Guide
“We remain committed to ensuring that terrorists have no safe haven and no opportunity to recover their capabilities.”
Aneke added that the Armed Forces of Nigeria remain focused on consolidating the gains already achieved in the country’s counter-terrorism operations and would continue efforts to deny insurgents the ability to regroup or launch fresh attacks.
