In a fresh wave of counter-terrorism operations, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), as part of Operation Hadin Kai, delivered a decisive blow to ISWAP militants, obliterating key hideouts and neutralizing dozens of fighters on 7 November 2024.
Targeting the Southern Tumbuns area of Arina Woje, NAF jets struck with precision following credible intelligence on insurgent movements.
High-ranking ISWAP commanders, along with clusters of militants, were reportedly gathering in concealed camps under dense vegetation, planning renewed assaults.
The Nigerian jets unleashed an intense assault, deploying bombs and cannon fire that leveled hideouts and pursued fleeing insurgents, leaving devastation in their wake. This mission follows an October 30 strike in the same region that killed 50 ISWAP fighters, including notorious commander Qaid Bashir Dauda.
This operation underscores the AFN’s commitment to eradicating ISWAP’s influence, using state-of-the-art surveillance and strike capabilities.
Air Commodore Olusola F. Akinboyewa of the NAF reiterated that Nigeria’s counter-terrorism forces remain unyielding in their resolve to secure peace, striking fear into terror factions and fortifying national security.
