Terrorists linked to Boko Haram and ISWAP groups eliminated in airstrike by the Nigerian Air Force in Borno.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) successfully conducted an airstrike against Boko Haram and ISWAP militants in Borno State as part of Operation Hadin Kai. The operation, performed in Bita, Borno State, resulted in the elimination of several terrorists, marking a significant milestone in ongoing efforts to dismantle the operational capacity of these insurgent groups threatening national security in the region.
Spokesperson for the NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, stated that the airstrike was carried out early Friday morning after combat aircraft targeted fleeing militants. The operation, conducted under the cover of darkness, is said to be one of the most decisive blows against Boko Haram and ISWAP in recent times.
Following the airstrikes, ground forces began clearance and exploitation operations to secure the area, consolidating on the gains achieved from the air strikes. The NAF remains committed to defending the country's territorial integrity and safeguarding law-abiding citizens. Measures have been put in place to ensure that terrorist elements have no safe haven within the nation.
While the impact and aftermath of this operation are significant, other related events are also worth noting. For instance, the eradication of Boko Haram leaders such as Amir Abu Fatima and his associates has been a milestone in the fight against terrorism[1]. The Borno State government has also promised to provide scholarships to the children of eight Slain CJTF members[2].
