KEY ARMED BANDIT LEADERS NEUTRALIZED BY AIR COMPONENT OF OPERATION HADARIN DAJI AT KAGARA FOREST IN ZAMFARA STATE
Some notable armed bandit leaders and several of their fighters have been neutralized in air strikes executed by the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI in the Zamfara State section of the Kagara Forest.

This was achieved pursuant to Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports indicating that some armed bandits had relocated with a large number of rustled livestock from the Sokoto State side of the Forest and set up camp in the Zamfara State portion of the Forest.

A statement from the coordinator defence media operations, John Enenche said Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions also later confirmed the exact location of the camp with the authorities dispatching  Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to engage the location.

Enenche said the attack aircraft struck the area of vegetation taking out several of the bandits confirming  that 8 bandit leaders and no fewer than a dozen of their fighters got killed as a result of the strikes
He said the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, commended  the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and urged them to remain resolute in the conduct of air strikes whilst continuing to provide close air support for ongoing ground operations in order to eradicate all armed bandits; thus accomplishing the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to restore normalcy in the North-West and North-Central Zones of the Country.
