Nigerian Air Force, NAF, has said its personnel under the Air Component of Operating Hadin Kai, killed over twenty-five terrorists in a coordinated night operation at Bula Yobe and Banki four days ago.

Speaking on the strikes in Bula Yobe and Banki, Director of NAF Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said the feat was achieved after acting on reports from ground troops stressing that a force package comprising Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, ISR, and attack aircraft were deployed.

According to him, the ISR platform established contact with ground forces, tracked terrorist movements and identified multiple groups around the north of Banki.

Ejodame said real-time updates were relayed to ground troops and base operations, enabling synchronised action adding that the strike aircraft engaged the terrorists in three successive precision strikes on their movement routes and assembly areas, effectively neutralising more than twenty-five fighters.
