Nigerian Air Force (NAF) airstrikes unleashed havoc on Bello Turji’s stronghold in KAGARA forest, Sokoto.
Led by Operation Hadarin Daji, the strikes annihilated scores of fighters, including three notorious bandit kingpins.
The retaliation followed a brazen attack by terrorists on Civilian Joint Task Force units, escalating tensions after the killing of seven bandits and the recovery of heavy armaments.
Intelligence reports guided the precision strikes as NAF aircraft swooped down on the retreating militants, turning their camp into ruins.
Among the casualties were top-tier bandits like KACHALLAH UBAN DABA, DAN JANGERU, and DOGO NA HANTS, dealing a significant blow to Turji’s operations.
Despite his escape, the aerial assault left a trail of destruction and chaos among the militants.
As the ground troops intercepted fleeing bandits, a fierce ambush in Makwaruwa village inflicted further losses, cementing the success of the operation.
However, the aftermath saw retaliatory strikes by surviving fighters, targeting villages but met with swift retaliation from Joint Operation Hadarin Daji forces and government-backed militia.
This week’s developments underscore Operation Hadarin Daji’s relentless pursuit of peace and security in Northwest Nigeria, signaling a resolute stand against criminal elements threatening the region’s stability.
