The Nigerian Air Force, (NAF) has carried out a series of precision airstrikes against terrorist and bandit hideouts in Kwara, Borno, Katsina, and other northern states.
Irohinoodua was informed by locals that the attacks are forcing the terrorists to move Southwards.
“We saw many of them moving all night in motorcycles away from their hideouts towards a different location” Akinola Idowu a resident of Odo-Ere in Kogi State told our correspondent.
The NAF targeted terrorists in Kwara and ISWAP elements in Borno, specifically in the Northern Tumbuns, where terrorists were mobilizing along the Lake Chad Basin.
Air assets, guided by real-time intelligence, struck locations around Shuwaram and Mallam Fatori, destroying insurgent hideouts, logistics hubs, and weapons storage facilities.
According to Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the NAF spokesperson, in a statement made available to Irohinoodua, the strikes destroyed insurgent hideouts, logistics hubs, and weapons storage facilities, eliminating several terrorists and crippling their mobility capabilities.

Guided by real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance feeds, air assets conducted precision strikes southeast of Shuwaram before shifting to Mallam Fatori, where ISWAP elements were observed mobilising with motorcycles and boats along the Lake Chad Basin.
