The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Sunday confirmed that several terrorists in Kebbi and Zamfara states were killed in separate air operations. The service also reported the destruction of strongholds belonging to notorious bandit warlords.
In a statement, NAF spokesperson Olusola Akinboyewa highlighted that the hideout of terrorist kingpin Ado Aleiro was among those targeted, noting that many of Aleiro’s fighters were killed during the operations.
Akinboyewa said that the first wave of strikes was launched on November 8, following confirmed intelligence regarding increased terrorist activities in the areas. These areas include the strategic Sangeko location in Zamfara, near the Kebbi border, and Ado Aleiro’s heavily fortified enclave around Asola Hill in Tsafe Local Government Area.
Akinboyewa also confirmed that according to intelligence reports, several kidnapped victims held by bandits escaped during the operations.
These operations highlight NAF’s increasing agility and resilience, reaffirming the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s relentless dedication to restoring peace and security across the nation.
