The Nigerian Air Force today confirmed that the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai eliminated 22 terrorists in air strikes at their identified terrorists’ hideouts and enclaves in Borno.
The Director of Public Relations and Information of NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, in a statement, said the air strikes were sequel to intelligence received from the Land Component that about 22 terrorists in a gun truck and two motorcycles were sighted near Marte.
The NAF spokesman said that the failed strategies adopted by terrorists to evade detection and the firepower of the land and air components by moving from one point to another was indicative of their inability to hold ground and pose significant threats to military formations or pick on soft civilian targets at will.
This, according to him, attests to the successes of the efforts placed by the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies.
