The Air Component of Operation Hadarin Daji of the Nigerian Air Force in a 3-day intensive military operation has launched air offensive against bandits in North West Nigeria.

NAF Spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

Gabkwet revealed that in NAF’s resolve to rid the region of banditry, the air component focused on locations with high concentration of bandits such as South of Dansadau town and North of Kwiambana Forest Reserves in Zamfara State.

He specifically said that on 2 August 2021, the Nigerian Air Force surveillance platforms overhead these locations locked on armed bandits on bikes moving into Kwiambana Forest Reserves.

Gabkwet explained that diligent tracking of the bandits’ movement led the platforms to unearth extensive and well-concealed terrorists’ camps with numerous huts.

"Accordingly, using a mix of NAF Alpha Jet, MI 171 and Agusta 109 strike helicopters, bombardment of the camps commenced on the evening of 2 August 2021 in liaison with ground troops forming forces around the targeted areas of the forest.

"Through these coordinated attacks, over 78 bandits were neutralized, and their camps destroyed.

He noted that, Informants and locals in the general vicinity also confirmed an exodus of surviving bandits from the forest.

Further ISR by the air component confirmed a total abandonment of the camp by the surviving bandits.

In the meantime, the NAF 404 Force Protection Group stationed in Kaduna, on Wednesday, arrested a 48-year-old bandits’ logistics runner named, Aminu Saminu, around the Kaduna International Airport.

Gabkwet said, during interrogation, the culprit revealed that he usually disguises as a charcoal businessman to purchase food and other items for bandits at Bamba Village in Igabi Local Government Area (West of Kaduna International Airport).

"Useful information by the runner was availed to the Air Component that has engineered focus around the Kaduna International Airport environment and other areas with high bandits’ concentration", he said.

I was actually expecting to read over 1k bandit killed after deploying almost half of military jets coupled with the ground troops. so ground troops killed nothing

don't trust this people completely, could be audio bombing. nothing buhari cannot do

And some Nigerians will be dumb enough to believe this. Not even 1 pic of the 78 "neutralized" bandits? [img]https://c./rTUP1uabmKYAAAAC/laugh-lol.gif[/img]Have you ever seen any Fulani bandit tried and jailed?
Oya see my own pics of Nigerian military bombardment below... let us continue lying to ourselves

No bodies?

Pictures of the 78 bodies, else adonbilivit. Na audio 78 bodies

Anyways, kudos shaa

Useless goats! They must have either bombed empty camps with no human resemblance or these are just another rounds of random pictures.

Don't trust Nigerian Army. These images could be from video games

Iammo AKA Solmus, afonja Muslim spotted

Some good news is coming from that area recently. I pray that military will be able to sustain the tempo.

I am expecting to see pictures as in graphic photos. Why is it that in north, we don't see pictures of dead militants when they are killed unlike in south where crayfish thief are paraded by police?

Hope it's not another IDP camp

God Bless Nigeria Military
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Bro na video game

Great job boys keep hitting the animals till they revert to human beings.

You mean IPOB would be sad that Fulani bandits are being neutralized in the car North?

The same IPOB that formed ESN to counter the activities of the bandit encroaching into the East

So the military saboteurs didn't see this assault coming?. They could have alerted the bandits to take off before the attack.

Well-done my boys

Bandits operating more than 24hours shows Northern politicians are involved, so if those sponsoring these bunch of ragtag aren't arrested then you're only joking, those boys aren't leaving bush anytime soon

That will be nice. My only worry is unavailability of the pictures of these slain bandits.

Make I wait for the elders to finalize weda na Audio Abi

Ok

wahala no dey finish sha

Yoonity begging will waste your youth age.

Rise up, wake up and start looking for work. Begging people who don't like you and don't want to be in the same country as you, calling them "IPOB terror" or "ESN pig" is detrimental to your health.

Igbos don't want you. There's nothing like terror in any activities of IPOB.

The only terrorist groups we have in Nigeria are:

Boko Haram
Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP)
Fulani herdsmen and bandits
Other state-sponsored terrorist groups

Keep crying

If this was the south east, they would have littered everywhere with the corpses of innocent residents and upload on the internet for the world to see, but since it's the north they'll only report Audio news and expect us to fall for it and believe that they're working. This news is as fake as the imposter occupying the number position in this country.

This I have seen.

Bros, get sense. U say no. Now see where it has landed you.

I am almost certain you wouldn't have been this doubtful if the news were the other way round...

Many of you never query the authenticity of any news that paints your country negatively. That's quite sad!!!
