No fewer than 30 terrorists have fallen to the firepower of the troops of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) dubbed “Operation Whirl Punch” in Kaduna State.
NAF spokesman, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet said on Monday the terrorists were killed in a “precision strike” after the military got wind of their rendezvous along the Kwiga-Kampamin Doka axis in Birnin Gwari county of the Northwest State.
The intel, Gabkwet said, revealed a trail of terrorists moving in a convoy of 15 motorbikes, each with at least two armed terrorists. The troops trailed the motorbike-riding armed gang to their meeting place and after close monitoring for a while, sent a drone upon them.
“The aftermath of the air strike revealed that several of the terrorists were eliminated as a result of the strike,” Gabkwet told local press on Monday.
