Just like Nigerian airways, they hired these ones. Once the celebration is over, the aircraft you see today you see them no more

Terrorist kingpin Ali Dogo, scores of fighters killed in military air strikes in Kaduna

The Defence Headquarters says the Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch, has eliminated key terrorists’ leaders and score of their fighters in air strikes on their locations in Kaduna State.

The Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Musa Danmadami, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

Danmadami said that the air task force carried out an air strike at Yadi in Giwa Local Government Area of the state on Oct. 8 based on credible intelligence.

He said that the air strikes led to the killing of a terrorist kingpin, Ali Dogo, (AKA Yellow) alongside his fighters in a building they were said to be hosting a meeting.

According to him, Yellow and his fighters were said to have relocated to Kaduna State following continued bombardment on his location in Niger.

Danmadami said that the air component also bombarded a terrorists’ meeting location in the Northwest of Mando in Kaduna State on the same day, following intelligence that some terrorist leaders and their foot soldiers had converged under tree cover for meeting in the location.

He said that scores of terrorists’ leaders and foot soldiers were also neutralised in the air bombardment.

“The military high command commends troops of Operation Whirl Punch and encourages the general public to avail troops with credible and timely information on criminal activities,” he said.

The reason why the fight is still been fought in the forest and creeks is because the military are doing a good job.
I remembered Yobe and Borno were no go area, even Fed govt refuse to send corp members to those states.
I remembered 1st Oct 2010, independence day bombing where terrorists bombed the road that the president was to take, and he was only about 1hr 30mins close to the vicinity.

It was that bad and people say the military is not fighting insurgency. Mtchew

"Show them" how?! Am I the commander in chief of the so called forces?

So Afghanistan and Iraq invade US and built camps there?
Chase their farmers aways, kidnapped and demand ransoms?

Don't be a Joker, bro.

Hundreds of Boko Haram, ISWAP terrorists killed in Nigerian airstrike

The military operations were conducted when the terrorists were organising a meeting in a forest, says a Nigerian military expert.

The Nigerian air force killed more than 200 Boko Haram terrorists in an air raid with the Super Tucano light fighter jet in the Sambisa Forest in the northeastern state of Borno, a military expert has told Anadolu Agency.

There has been no official confirmation from the military but Zaga Zola Makama said on Friday no fewer than 200 Boko Haram and Daesh in West Africa Province (ISWAP) insurgents had been neutralised.

The jet was procured by the government to fight insurgents.

Top commanders neutralised

Makama said military operations were conducted when the terrorists were meeting in the forest and ISWAP top commanders were among those neutralised.

Makama said inadequate drugs and a lack of treatment for various injuries the terrorists sustained in the strike led to their demise.

Separately, local police has confirmed the arrests of at least 503 suspects on various charges of terrorism, rape and culpable homicide across the state.

State Police Commissioner Abdu Umar said the arrests were made between January and December.
