... Air Chief Reviews NAF ongoing Operations in Kaduna

The Nigerian Air Force on Wednesday said, the effect of strikes undertaken by NAF aircraft have revealed that several terrorists' have been eliminated and their enclaves destroyed in the Northwest, Nigeria.

In a WhatsApp Message shared by the NAF spokesperson Gabkwet revealed that, one of such strikes which occurred yesterday, 9 August 2022 resulted in the elimination of a well known well known terrorists' kingpin, Alhaji Shanono operating in Kaduna State.

Gabkwet said, "following receipt of intelligence on 9 August 2022 that a well known terrorists' kingpin, Alhaji Shanono, had scheduled a meeting with his foot soldiers at Ukambo, a village about 131 km from Kaduna, the Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch dispatched aircraft for interdiction mission at the location.

"Overhead the location, terrorists were sighted under clusters of trees at the foot of Ukambo high ground and after ensuring the absence of civilian settlements within the location, the crew received the authorization to strike,", he revealed.

He said, feedback from local sources disclosed that over 30 rifles and 20 motorbikes were destroyed while about 18 terrorists, including Alhaji Shanono, were neutralized while others sustained various degree of injuries.

Sources also revealed that not less than 26 kidnapped victims earlier held by the terrorists were released as a result of the airstrike.

NAF spokesperson also added that, a similar strikes were also undertaken in the Northeas as the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai had their tasks well cut out for them as they have been fully engaged in conducting air interdiction missions on terrorists’ targets in Borno State.

He noted that one of such operations was conducted on 6 August 2022 at Gazuwa, about 1.2 kilometers to Gargash, after intelligences revealed that infighting for relevance and supremacy was underway between terrorists of the Shekau faction and terrorists aligned to Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP).

"The state of confusion and disorder among the 2 terrorists’ factions thus presented an opportunity for a surprise strike by NAF pilots which was carried out using 2 aircraft types. It should be noted that though the map coordinates led the pilots to the exact site of the infighting, the location also had an ISWAP flag hoisted on the structure and 3 solar panels on the rooftop.

"Intelligence received and corroborated by local sources revealed the strike was a success as the terrorists did not anticipate it with several eliminated and others injured", he said.

The impact of the strikes is said to have reverberated through the remaining terrorists’ camps who are beginning to realize that they are fighting an unjust and lost cause that will no doubt lead to their death. Most are said to be contemplating surrendering just like others before them.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, was earlier in Kaduna to review ongoing operations and give further directives.

From the briefings received by the CAS, it is evident that so far, the directives given to the operational commanders is yielding the requisite outcome.

Air Marshal Amao, in addressing the commanders, reminded them of the need to remain steadfast and focused on the task ahead. 'We can't afford to let down our guards', he said.

This is even as intensive air operations endured in the entire military theatres of operation as NAF aircraft continue to seek and decimate enemies of the state in their attempts to make life unbearable for innocent Nigerians.

Meanwhile, sources have confirmed that the Nigerian military are exuding so much confidence especially with the level of successes being recorded. They are also optimistic that the counterterrorism strategies and efforts will in no distant time yield the expected outcome even beyond the northeast.

Rather, Buhari is the one that hates you, that is why he is making life difficult for you by allowing insecurity and hyper inflation dominate in your country.

He must have been killed in error. Buhari will not be happy with this news.
