NAF Airstrikes Kill Terrorist Kingpin, Ali Dogo, 30 Others In Kaduna

NAF airstrikes have killed terrorist Kingpin, Ali Dogo, and 30 others in Kaduna.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a notorious bandit leader in Kaduna State, Ali Dogo, and 30 of his men have been killed in airstrikes by the Nigerian Air Force.

Dogo, who is also known as Yellow, and his gang members, were killed in an air raid conducted by Operation Whirl Punch.

EDITOR’S PICK

A defence intelligence source told PRNigeria that the kingpin and his boys earlier fled Niger State to one Alhaji Gwarzo’s house at Yadi in Giwa local government area for safety, following NAF aircraft sustained bombardments on his location in Niger recently.

“Unfortunately for them, while they were having a meeting, NAF aircraft struck Alhaji Gwarzo’s house, leaving everybody in the building neutralized including Yellow,” the source was quoted by PR Nigeria as saying.

Meanwhile, it was also gathered that separate bombardments on the same day targeting terrorists at a location 33 metres Northwest of Mando in Kaduna were also undertaken. The source said:

“Following credible intelligence of terrorists leaders and their foot soldiers converging under tree covers at the location for a meeting, the location was struck with several terrorists killed.”

Confirming the successful bombardment, NAF spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said the Nigerian Air Force would keep up bombardment of non-state actors in the northwest.

“The Air Component in keeping with the directive of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, would continue to sustain offensive operations against these criminal elements in collaboration with the Land Component and other security agencies to rid the Joint Operations Area and indeed the entire Northwest of terrorism and other acts of criminality,” he said.
