Airstrikes from the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) have resulted in the killing of several bandits as well as loyalists of bandit leaders Dan-Isuhu and Dogo Sule.
This development was confirmed in a statement by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa.
He narrated that the strikes, carried out by the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma, executed further air missions in Zamfara State on Friday, November 15, based on intelligence reports.
Akinboyewa disclosed that before the airstrikes, which were targeted at a large assembly of bandits in Babban Kauye village, situated in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara, were executed, intelligence sources revealed that the congregation of criminals were perfecting plans for coordinated attacks against military personnel and civilians along the Tsafe axis.
“Upon receiving credible intelligence, the NAF launched a series of devastating airstrikes, inflicting significant casualties on the criminal elements.
“Reports from the ground confirmed the successful elimination of numerous high-ranking members of the bandit groups, dealing a severe blow to their operational capacity,” he said.
The NAF spokesperson said terrorist groups have utilized remote settlements like Babban Kauye as strategic safe havens, from which they coordinate and execute their nefarious operations.
