The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said that its Air Component of ‘Operation HADARIN DAJI’ has in continuation of the operations aimed at flushing out armed bandits from their safe havens within the various forests in the Northwest of Nigeria, destroyed a camp and killed scores of armed bandits in air strikes, conducted at a location near Dangote Village in Zamfara State.

The director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola in a statement said the operation, which took place at dawn on 16 June 2019, was executed following credible Human IHntelligence (HUMINT) reports indicating that some armed bandit leaders had assembled an overnight meeting in a cluster of huts at the location to plan for attacks against nearby communities.

He noted that after confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), the Air Component dispatched two Alpha Jets and an attack helicopter to strike the location with successes.

“Overhead the target area, some armed bandits were seen near the huts, while others were spotted in the surrounding bushes,” he added.

He said that the Alpha Jet attacked the location in successive passes, neutralizing the bandits in the surrounding bushes in the first few passes while destroying two of the huts housing the key leaders, which were seen engulfed in flames, in the fourth pass.

The director said some  of the surviving bandits, who were firing at the attack platforms while attempting to flee the location, were mopped-up in follow-on attacks by the helicopter.
