Nigerian Air Force Kill Over 100 Bandits In Zamfara Airstrikes

Gusau,  Zamfara State – The Nigerian Air Force troops, operating under Operation Hadarin Daji, executed a series of precise airstrikes, neutralizing over 100 bandits in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

According to an impeccable source familiar with the operation, the bandits, who were reportedly in large numbers, had set their sights on Kebbi State, intending to unleash terror upon unsuspecting communities.

However, their nefarious plans were thwarted when they received intelligence that the Nigerian Air Force troops were positioned along their intended route.

In a desperate bid to escape, the bandits hastily retreated to the dense Dansadau forest in Maru Local Government Area, where they believed they could find refuge.

The Nigerian Air Force swiftly engaged the fleeing bandits, leading to the neutralization of over 100 of the terrorists, who were burnt beyond recognition. Additionally, numerous motorcycles, which the bandits had been using to facilitate their operations, were destroyed during the airstrikes. Several other bandits sustained various degrees of injuries during the operation.

Captain Ibrahim Yahaya, the spokesperson for the Military in Zamfara State, confirmed the incident and praised the troops for their effective response. While he was unable to provide an exact count of the bandits neutralized, he stated, “It is true that our men were able to neutralize some bandits who wanted to attack some communities. Many of them were neutralized on the spot, but I cannot actually tell you their number.”
