Air strikes by the Nigerian Air Force NAF (NAF) have killed several terrorists and destroyed their enclave at Bula Madibale in the Gezuwa general area of Borno State.

NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, announced this in a statement on Thursday.

According to Ejodame, the precision strikes were carried out at about 20:50am, on Wednesday, September 17, after intelligence and surveillance revealed a gathering of about 45 terrorists in the areas.

He said two terrorist flags were seen hoisted at the location, underscoring the area being use as a stronghold and rallying point of the terrorists.

“Acting on this credible intelligence, the Aie Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) launched a coordinated air interdiction,” Ejodame said.

“The strikes achieved a devastating impact, eliminating several terrorists at the gathering point, while the flagged structure and other hostile assets at the gathering point were destroyed.”
