NAF Airstrikes Kill Bandits, Kingpins In Zamfara

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says several armed bandits, including notorious kingpins, were killed in coordinated strikes on Makakkari Forest, Zamfara State.

NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said in a statement on Monday that the Air Component of Operation FASAN YAMMA launched the strikes after intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) detected the movement of over 400 bandits preparing to attack a farming community.

The operation combined precision airstrikes with ground assaults, neutralising scores of fighters. “The synergy between air and land components made the operation exceptional,” Ejodame said.
