Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information at the Headquarters of the Nigerian Air Force, said in a statement that the mission was conducted as part of a coordinated air–ground integration operation with the Nigerian Army, following an earlier successful engagement that effectively decimated terrorist positions in the area.
The statement noted that the NAF airstrike targeted terrorist elements responsible for recent attacks on security forces within the wider theatre.
The follow-on strikes were aimed at fleeing remnants and regrouping cells seeking to exploit the difficult terrain.
Acting on credible intelligence received through close coordination with relevant stakeholders and validated by the appropriate operational command, the operation further consolidated gains already achieved by friendly forces.
“By sustaining pressure through immediate mop-up strikes after the initial coordinated assault, the air component has reinforced ongoing efforts to secure lives, protect property, and stabilise vulnerable areas across Borno State and the wider North-East theatre,” it said.
According to the statement, the operation reflects the Nigerian Air Force’s unwavering resolve to maintain persistent surveillance, precision interdiction, and rapid response actions in support of national counter-terrorism objectives.
It reassured citizens of the Armed Forces’ steadfast commitment to restoring lasting peace and security.
