In a significant blow to terrorism in the North-East, the Air component of Operation Hadarin Kai executed precision airstrikes on ISWAP terrorists’ hideouts in Kolleram village along Lake Chad shores. According to a statement by the Nigerian Air Force Director of Public Relations and Information, AVM Edward Gabkwet, the airstrikes on April 13 resulted in the elimination of over 30 fighters, including senior commanders like Ali Dawud, Bakura Fallujah, and Mallam Ari.<\/p>\n
The Battle Damage Assessment post-strike revealed the destruction of numerous vehicles, motorcycles, and logistical assets, severely hampering the terrorists’ operational capabilities. Moreover, a key facility within the Kolleram enclave, serving as a hub for the insurgents’ food processing activities, was obliterated, including grinding machines.<\/p>\n
Gabkwet emphasized the NAF’s commitment to eradicating terrorism and ensuring the safety of Nigerian citizens. The success of these airstrikes, coupled with ground forces’ ongoing efforts in the Lake Chad flank, has significantly degraded ISWAP’s capabilities in the region. These airstrikes mark a crucial advancement in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, complementing ground operations and demonstrating progress in enhancing national security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
