Precision Strikes Crush Terrorist Havens in Shiroro, Smash Oil Thieves in Niger Delta
In a daring display of precision and power, air strikes orchestrated on Saturday by Operation Whirl Punch dealt decisive blows to terrorists’ hideouts in Shiroro, Niger State, and economic saboteurs in the Niger Delta.
These operations, spearheaded by the Nigerian Air Force, mark a significant stride in combating threats to national security and economic stability.
The targeted strikes in Shiroro LGA zeroed in on the lair of notorious terrorist leader Mallam Umar, along with key commanders nestled within the Alawa Forest.
Intelligence efforts, including extensive surveillance, pinpointed the terrorists’ strongholds, which had been responsible for recent deadly attacks and IED incidents.
The ensuing aerial assault not only neutralized several terrorists but also dismantled their hideouts, dealing a severe blow to their operational capabilities.
Simultaneously, the Niger Delta felt the impact of these strategic strikes as illegal refining sites were razed to the ground.
The nefarious activities of oil thieves, polluting the environment and siphoning precious resources, faced a relentless aerial onslaught.
Multiple illegal refining sites were obliterated, and cotonou boats laden with illicit crude met a fiery end, sending a clear message of zero tolerance for economic sabotage.
These coordinated actions signify a resolute stance against threats to national security and economic prosperity.
Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, Director of Public Relations and Information for the Nigerian Air Force, emphasized that such operations, in collaboration with other security agencies, will persist to safeguard the nation and its citizens from harm.
This decisive response underscores Nigeria’s commitment to upholding peace, security, and economic integrity, ensuring a safer and more resilient future for all.
