Determined to dislodge more terrorists, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Aircraft under Operation WHIRL PUNCH (OPWP) have killed several terrorist elements at Tsauni Doka at Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
This took place when air strikes against terrorists continued in the Northwest and Northcentral Region of the country.
A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore, Edward Gabkwet, and made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA), has disclosed this.
It said “The strikes became necessary following credible intelligence revealed the presence of terrorist kingpin known as Boderi and his foot soldiers at Tsauni Doka.
“Subsequently, air strikes were carried out on the location in the early hours of 16 November, 2023, with devastating consequences on the terrorists.
“Similar strikes with positive outcomes were also carried out at a location about 500 metres east of Boderi’s hideout, believed to be the hiding place of Boderi’s brother, Nasiru.
“Both strikes were termed very successful as several terrorists were neutralized and their motorcycles destroyed.
“Boderi and his brother Nasiru, alongside their cohorts, have been blamed for several attacks and abductions along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road as well as in several communities in Niger and Kaduna States,” the statement stated.
