Airstrikes by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) have killed thirty terrorists in Katsina state.
The airstrikes were carried out on May 27 at a terrorist kingpin’s hideouts in Bakai, Bakarya, Yartsintsiya in Kankara Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the NAF’s spokesperson, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, credible intelligence confirmed that the terrorist kingpin, Babura, “narrowly escaped” the airstrikes.
“Similar air strikes were also carried out by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai on the same day at Tumbun Fulani, near Lake Chad, against terrorists at a once abandoned hideout.
“The strikes were authorized after Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions observed a pattern that was consistent with the relocation of terrorists to new hideouts and movement of their logistics.”
