The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says it has executed a series of successful air interdictions targeting 3 significant enclaves of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Marte Local Government Area on 31 October 2024.
The precision strikes according to the NAF director public relations and Information, Air Commodore Olusola F Akinboyewa is focused on known ISWAP strongholds in the villages of Tumbun Daribiyar, Jubularam, Buluwa, and Tumbu Karfe, marking a major effort in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria's Northeast.
He said an on-ground assessment confirmed that approximately 50 terrorists, including a high-ranking ISWAP commander known as Bashir Dauda, were neutralized in the operation. Additionally, an ISWAP supply depot in the Jubularam enclave, filled with a substantial cache of food and essential items like beans, millet, and rice, was destroyed, effectively severing a critical resource line for the terrorists.
These successful air strikes, targeting personnel and logistics, underscore NAF’s ongoing commitment to supporting ground forces and enhancing joint efforts to decimate terrorist strongholds in the region.
