NAF Kills Terrorists in Lake Chad
The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, k*lls t£rror!sts in Lake Chad during one of its recent operations.
The airstrikes d£stroyed a t£rrorist food depot and k*lled many of the t£rror!sts in Lake Chad.
The Nigerian Air Force confirmed on Monday that a fighter aircraft of its air component delivered a crushing blow on t£rror!st elements in Jubillaram, a dangerous place in Lake Chad Basin.
Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, said, “This strategic location, identified through meticulous intelligence efforts, served as a critical food storage site and a sanctuary for t£rrorist commanders and fighters.
NAF statement partly reads; “Intelligence had previously linked t£rrorists in this location to recent att@cks, including the ass@ult on troops in Kareto on 16 November 2024.
“In response, Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets launched a robust air interdiction mission, destroying identified structures used as storage facilities and neutralising t£rrorists on-site.
“Mop-up operations using cannons ensured the complete elimination of fleeing hostile elements.
“The operation’s success was made possible by extensive intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions conducted over several days, confirming the presence of active t€rrorist structures camouflaged under dense vegetation.
“The destruction of the t£rrorist enclave, including food storage facilities, severely disrupted their logistical operations.
“The neutralisation of a significant number of fighters diminished their capacity to launch future att@cks.
“This mission demonstrates the NAF’s unwavering commitment to defending our nation and people, acting singly and supporting surface forces in coun*erterr0rism operations.
“The NAF will sustain these robust independent and joint operations until all enemies of Nigeria’s prosperity and wellbeing are brought to justice.”
This recent att@ck on terrorists which has been praised by Nigerians came after the Defense Headquarters confirmed that Nigerian Army Troops eliminated 114 t€rorists and arr€sted two hundred and eighty-nine terrorists.
In addition, the defense HQ has also rescued 138 kidnap victims in one week.
