The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), under the Air Component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA Sector 1, has eliminated scores of terrorists at their stronghold in Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State.
Director, Public Relations and Information, NAF Headquarters, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, in a statement on Saturday, said troops also sustained relentless air operations against terrorists and armed bandits across the North-West.
Ejodame said NAF aircraft successfully neutralised the terrorists after positively identifying their movement through intelligence within the area.
During the operations, he said NAF delivered precision strikes on identified criminal enclaves, while intensifying intelligence, surveillance and armed reconnaissance missions in support of ongoing joint operations.
Air Commodore Ejodame said the coordinated missions, conducted on 18 and 19 June 2026, underscored NAF's unwavering resolve to deny criminal elements freedom of action and reinforce security across the theatre.
He said while acting on credible intelligence, NAF aircraft successfully struck a confirmed terrorist stronghold within the Joint Operations Area, disrupting the activities of criminal elements and degrading their operational capability.
The director added that follow-up reconnaissance over Fatika and Sabuwa confirmed the absence of further terrorist activity, while sustained aerial surveillance continued in support of friendly ground forces and ongoing operations across the theatre.
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, has consistently emphasised that "decisive air power delivers its greatest effect when seamlessly integrated with surface operations."
In line with this strategic vision, the NAF assured of continuous employment of intelligence-driven air power in close synergy with ground forces to decisively neutralise terrorists, protect innocent lives and restore lasting peace and security across the North West.
NAF further expressed its resolute commitment to sustaining the operational momentum until terrorist and bandit networks are decisively dismantled.
