Abuja—Seven notorious terrorists, under the leadership of members of Mallam Ila, has been neutralized by the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, aircraft under ‘Operation Hadarin Daji’.
The strikes, which were carried out in sustenance of efforts aimed at ridding the North West of Nigeria of terrorist activities, took place, the weekend, at the terrorist enclave, located about 9km East of Manawa Village, in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
After the air strike on the location, multiple explosions were observed with huge fireballs, indicative of other highly inflammable materials hidden in the location.
Battle damage assessment confirmed that seven terrorists were eliminated, while Mallam Ila narrowly escaped but sustained critical injuries.
Military authorities said that Mallam Ila remains a high-value target due to his closeness and association with terrorist leaders Bello Turji and Dan Bokoyo.
Ila, Turji, and Bokoyo’s foot soldiers have also been responsible for attacks in the Shinkafi general area of Zamfara State as well as parts of Kaduna, Niger, Kebbi, and Sokoto State.
Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, confirmed the strikes and maintained that “strikes on key terrorists and their hideouts continue until all areas are rid of enemies of the State.”
According to him: “The NAF and other security agencies remain on track to seeing the ongoing counterterrorism effort to a conclusive end.”
