The bombing of the terrorists came a week after the deputy senate president, Barau Jibrin, said “well-armed” terrorists were occupying strategic places around the source of damaged power transmission cables. He added that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Transmission Company of Nigeria were making efforts to strike the terrorists.
“Overhead the target area, NAF crews observed and engaged the terrorists, neutralising several fighters and their logistics with precise firepower.”Mr Akinboyewa, an air commodore, said NAF had established air superiority in the region to deter attacks that could frustrate the power restoration efforts.
Out of the 12 communities, at least six in Niger State are a few kilometres from the Shiroro Hydro Electric Power Station and Zungeru dam. Although some areas profiled in Kaduna are very far from the transmission line, terrorists based therein often invade its host communities.
