NAF Airstrikes Destroy Terrorists, Weapons In Niger State’s Alawa Forests by zero8zero(op): 1:17pm On Jan 05, 2025
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) launched airstrikes in Alawa Forests, located in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State, killed of several terrorists and the destruction of weaponry.

According to Zagazola Makama, Counter Insurgency Expert on Lake-Chad, the air missions were conducted based on intelligence that revealed the presence of key leaders of Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad (JAS), including Saddiku, Umar Taraba, and Kabiru Doctor, in the area.

Makama disclosed that the strikes obliterated weapons, technical vehicles, and eight motorcycles used by the extremists.

He stated that these sustained attacks have forced the terrorists to abandon their traditional hideouts, with many fleeing to the Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, signaling a shift in their base of operations.

“The Alawa Forests have long been a suspected refuge for various terrorist factions, making it a priority target for counterinsurgency operations.

“Intelligence reports suggest that Birnin Gwari, once a stronghold of Ansaru extremists aiming to establish a caliphate, could become the new hub for the fleeing insurgents,”Makama said

NAF’s ongoing operations, he said, aim to maintain pressure on the terrorists, with plans to extend airstrikes to emerging threats in Birnin Gwari.

He added that assessments of the Alawa mission are underway, with more updates expected as the evaluation continues.

Makama noted that this operation underscores the military’s commitment to disrupting terrorist activities and safeguarding affected regions from insurgent threats.

You see why this war is very tough, these terrorists keep running from one border state to another. The military needs lots of support and prayers.

The Nigerian Air Force is in for a challenge if they're serious about taking down those terrorists. These guys are sneaky, always disguising themselves and hiding among civilians. So, unless the Nigerian military goes all out and takes down the terrorists and their mates(those who aid them), I just don't see how they'll come out on top.

And, get ready for a load of media noise and propaganda from the terrorists' PR people trying to spin the narrative. It's a tricky business, carrying out precise strikes. You gotta know your stuff, gather intel, and then do your best.

Now the reality is, there's gonna be collateral damage, and civilians are gonna lose their lives. Point here is, I'm not sure the Nigerian Air Force has got the ability to pull off precise attacks like some other countries.
Israel as a case study! 🤷🏼

The best solution that will solve atleast 60% of terrorism in Nigeria is to educate our people about the fakery of these imported religions. Especially Islam and Christianity - Abrahamic religions.

We will keep having new terrorists unless people are made to understand through intentional campaigns about how fake and ridiculous these religions are.



All these fake imported religions have destroyed the normal mental processes of a lot of our people.

If you are following any of the two religion, you should know for fact that:

There is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no God (or god), there is no Allah, there are no angels, there are no demons, there are no spirits, there is no life after death, juju don't work, there is no eternal judgment, there is no karma, there was no historical Jesus. All those are figment of human imaginations and tools use by a very few some to control the very many others. The earlier you understand and accept these facts as facts, the happier and merrier your life and existence will be.

The religion you're currently claiming is the religion of your parents, if you were born into a different family of another religion (say Hinduism), that is the exact religion you will practice.

You were born without a religion in you, your factory reset has no religion in it. If you were to be a phone and they do factory reset on you today being a phone, there will not be anything found related to religion in your settings, files and file systems anymore; you learn religion only after your birth growing up.


Islam is idolatry and paganism, Christianity aswell is idolatry - All the world religion is idolatry, including all the Abrahamic religion. Holy communion is idolatory, bowing for a stone call Kaaba of the Bedouin tribes is also idolatory, killing of rams is idolatory, kissing or licking of a stone at mecca is idolatory, throwing of stone at pilgrimage is idolatory too.

Infact, Illah is what the Arabic call God and not Allah (the moon god). Allah was one of the diety been worshiped before the invention of Islam. That is why muslims will say something like "la ilah ila huwa" meaning Allah is one Illah (God). Have you ask yourself why Prophet Mohammed's father who was an idol worshiper and who lived before the invention of islam has Allah in is name Abdullai== Abdu Allah? It is because Allah has been an idol worshiped by paganists before the Prophet received his revelations.

All Abrahamic religion are idolatory, they only package them well and condemn your heritage as evil, whereas, Nigeria was better in terms of morality, honesty and integrity before they brought the foreign religions.

In peace loving, emotional intelligence, love for neighbor, respect for sanctity of life, we are even better than those who brought those religion with primitive leaders whose morality and characters are highly questionable.

It's a two edged saw, we've got to flush out the irredeemable ones and educate the redeemable ones......we need to sustain the two for sometimes before we focus on the education part. The north is destroyed with brainwashed illiterate unrepentant guys

The NAF is doing a great job with the sustained aerial offensive but the NA is not collaborating the NAF efforts with sustained ground offensive.

NA should always be on standby each time there is an air raid on terrorists stronghold by the Air Force in order to finish off fleeing terrorists by aggressively combing the target area.
