The Air Component of Operation WHIRL PUNCH on Wednesday, September 11, conducted a highly successful air interdiction mission targeted at terrorists in Bassa, Niger State.
The Nigerian Air Force Air assets observed over 100 terrorists engaging friendly forces in a fierce firefight, and the air strike eliminated dozens of the bandits.
Kabiru Ali, Group Captain, Deputy Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, said in a statement that 28 bodies had been recovered from the target area, with several more terrorists, weapons, and burnt motorcycles still being cleared.
According to the statement, the successful operation underscored the Nigerian Air Force’s commitment to protecting the nation and supporting sister services and other security agencies in combating banditry, terrorism, insurgency and all other forms of criminality. “Nigerians can be assured that NAF will continue to conduct air operations, both independently and in collaboration with surface forces, to eliminate all threats to the peace, prosperity and security of our great nation,” he said.
NAF sought for members of the public’s continued support in vital information that would lead to decimating bandits and other criminal elements.
