The Nigerian Air Force has confirmed that a series of coordinated airstrikes over the weekend resulted in the deaths of multiple terrorists in Kebbi and Zamfara states.

The targeted operations destroyed fortified camps and weapon caches belonging to notorious bandit leaders, including the hideout of prominent bandit warlord Ado Aleiro.

In a statement released on Sunday, NAF spokesperson Olusola Akinboyewa detailed the strikes, which were based on confirmed intelligence and designed to dismantle terrorist networks in the region.

“On November 8, 2024, after verifying increased terrorist activities in these areas, NAF assets executed precise aerial attacks on key camps, including Aleiro’s stronghold around Asola Hill in Tsafe Local Government Area,” Akinboyewa stated.

He explained that the operation, which included targeting the strategic Sangeko location near the Zamfara-Kebbi border, delivered a significant blow to Aleiro’s faction.

“The strikes not only destroyed a major arms depot but also neutralized many of Aleiro’s fighters, disrupting the criminal network and weakening their operational power,” Akinboyewa said.

The operation had an unexpected impact on hostages held captive by the bandits. During the airstrikes, several kidnapped individuals managed to escape.

“Many of the hostages seized the opportunity amidst the chaos to make their way to safety in Kebbi State,” Akinboyewa confirmed, adding that some survivors have recounted their escape.

This air campaign is part of Operation Farautar Mujiya, an intensified effort to counter banditry and restore stability across affected communities.

Akinboyewa noted that the strikes have brought a renewed sense of hope to local residents. “This operation has sent a clear message to bandit groups and brought reassurance to citizens who have long faced the threat of violence,” he said, promising additional updates on the mission in the days ahead.

The NAF emphasized its commitment to leveraging advanced surveillance and precision capabilities to maintain pressure on criminal elements across Nigeria.
