Several camps of armed bandits have been destroyed following aggressive airstrikes by Nigerian Air Force fighter jets.
The NAF jets’ bombardments also killed no fewer than 78 bandits, a source told a news agency, PRNigeria. He said: “Air offensive action against bandits in North-West Nigeria received a boost in a three-day intensive military operation led by the Air Component of Operation Hadarin Daji.
“Accordingly, using a mix of NAF Alpha Jet, MI 171 and Agusta 109 strike helicopters, the bombardment of the camps commenced on the evening of 2 August 2021 in liaison with ground troops forming blocking forces around the targeted areas of the forest. “Further ISR by the air component confirmed a total abandonment of the camp by the surviving bandits,” the source added.
