The Nigerian Air Force, –NAF, has announced that the Air Components of Operations Hadin Kai and Hadarin Daji, have eradicated a great deal of terrorists in a stream of air strikes in their territories across the theatres.
According to a statement by Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF on Sunday, October 15, in Abuja, the Air component in the early hours of Saturday, had initiated air interdiction missions at a recently identified terrorists’ hideout at Bukar Meram, near the Lake Chad region in Borno.

The air strikes were authorised at the location in Bukar Meram to eliminate the terrorists.
The NAF spokesman had also revealed that similar air strikes were carried out on terrorists on October 11 by the Air Component of Operation Haradin Daji near the Sangeko axis of Maru Local Government Area, Zamfara.
