The Nigerian Airforce says its airstrike has neutralised 50 terrorists, including a high-ranking ISWAP commander known as Bashir Dauda, during the operation in Marte Local Government of Borno State.
The Director, Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Olusola F Akinboyewa, in a statement on Monday night said the precision strikes focused on known ISWAP strongholds in the villages of Tumbun Daribiyar, Jubularam, Buluwa, and Tumbu Karfe, marking a major effort in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria’s Northeast.
He said an on-ground assessment confirmed that approximately 50 terrorists, including a high-ranking ISWAP commander known as Bashir Dauda, were neutralized in the operation.
“Additionally, an ISWAP supply depot in the Jubularam enclave, filled with a substantial cache of food and essential items like beans, millet, and rice, was destroyed, effectively severing a critical resource line for the terrorists.
“These successful air strikes, targeting personnel and logistics, underscore NAF’s ongoing commitment to supporting ground forces and enhancing joint efforts to decimate terrorist strongholds in the region,” the statement added.
