IN ZAMFARA, TWO BANDITS KINGPIN ARE KILLED BY NAF JETS

According to the Nigerian Air Force on Sunday, airstrikes carried out in Zamfara State have killed a large number of bandits, including important supporters of the infamous bandit leaders Dogo Sule and Dan-Isuhu.
The service claims that at the time of the airstrikes, the bandits were finalizing plans for coordinated attacks against civilians or military personnel along the safe axis.

According to the NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, reports from the ground following the strikes verified that many high-ranking banditti members had been successfully eliminated.

In order to eradicate bandit threats in Northwestern Nigeria, the Nigerian Air Force is continuing its vigorous air interdiction campaign, known as Operation Farautar Mujiya,” he stated.

In order to achieve this, on November 15, 2024, the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma carried out additional air interdiction missions in Zamfara State. Many bandits, including important supporters of notorious bandit leaders Dan-Isuhu and Dogo Sule, have been neutralized as a result of these operations.

“The airstrikes targeted a large assembly of bandits in Babban Kauye village, situated in the Tsafe Local Government of Zamfara State.

The group of criminals was honing their plans for coordinated attacks against civilians or military personnel along the Tsafe axis, according to intelligence sources.

“The NAF carried out a string of devastating airstrikes after receiving reliable intelligence, severely harming the criminal elements. Numerous high-ranking bandit group members were successfully eliminated, according to reports from the ground, severely impairing their ability to operate.

According to Akinboyewa, Tsafe Local Government has long been a hotbed of banditry, with groups loyal to Dogo Sule and Dan-Isuhu known for planning violent attacks on crucial infrastructure, security forces, and local communities.
