Reliable intelligence reports identified these sites as hubs for planning and launching attacks on communities, prompting swift military action.
Eyewitnesses in the area reported intense aerial bombardments that destroyed key infrastructure within the camps, causing significant casualties among the terrorists.
The operation is part of the Nigerian military’s renewed offensive against banditry and terrorism in the Northwest, following directives to intensify efforts to restore peace and stability in the region.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama the success of the operation, stating that the strikes effectively neutralized several high-value targets and disrupted the terrorists’ ability to regroup.
“We are currently seeing flames raging in the home of Dan Umaru. Dozens of them have been killed,”he said.
