The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said its air component of Operation Hadarin Daji has bombed three terrorists’ camps in Zamfara State, killed scores of terrorists and destroyed their structures.
NAF Director, Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, said the camps destroyed belonged to terrorist kingpins, Abdullahi Nasanda in Zurmi, Malam Tukur in Gusau, and another in Maradun Local Government Areas of the state.
Gabkwet, in a statement, said: “Following carefully conducted observation missions over the camps of terrorist kingpins, Abdullahi Nasanda in Zurmi Local Government Area (LGA) and Mallam Tukur’s camp in Gusau LGA of Zamfara State, air strikes by the air component of Operation Hadarin Daji, on April 10, 2024, have led to the elimination of several terrorists and their structures.
“Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission conducted on Abdullahi Nasanda’s Camp had revealed terrorists’ activities around some huts and thatched roof structures. Some of their motorcycles were also observed hidden on trees.
“Having established that their activities were consistent with terrorists’ modes of operation, the location was struck by multiple aircraft passes, thereby neutralising several terrorists. Similar ISR missions were conducted at Mallam Tukur Camp, where terrorists’ activities were also observed.
“Air strikes conducted on the camp neutralised several terrorists and showed several structures set ablaze and destroyed. Air strikes were also extended to Kani Kawa in Maradun town, under Maradun LGA of Zamfara State, where terrorists, their enclaves and equipment were attacked and destroyed.”
