We have neutralised scores of these adversaries particularly in Kaduna and Niger communities through our airstrikes. Some of them who were not hit by the airstrikes are currently on the run.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201dWe have gotten a marching order to wipe them off because these enemies are already threatening sovereignty of this nation. We won\u2019t relent until until we clear them or they surrender to us.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cThe operation continues but I won\u2019t tell you the communities we are carrying out the next operations so that these people won\u2019t run away before we get there. No going back! Enough is enough!\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nThe spokesman of Nigerian Air Force, Edward Gabkwet, an Air Commodore, also confirmed the development in an interview with journalists in Abuja.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said, \u201cOver the weekend, NAF aircraft struck a terrorists gathering at Kurebe in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State after intelligence revealed that the terrorists had assembled for an important meeting hosted by Aminu Duniya, a Boko Haram terrorist commander.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cAminu Duniya was said to have invited the terrorists to his enclave at Kurebe to the meeting which obviously attracted numerous terrorists who came in large numbers on their motorbikes.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cThe air strike was successful and resulted in the death of many terrorists, though it remains unclear if Aminu Duniya was also neutralized in the strike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIt should be noted that Kurebe is a known terrorists haven as the local inhabitants of Kurebe have since vacated the villages in and around the area after the terrorists drove them away in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe strike at Kurebe came barely hours after a coordinated joint air and ground operations, neutralized several terrorists operating around Damba \u2013 Galbi axis in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe activities of the terrorists continued to make life unbearable to locals in the area. So, when intelligence had revealed that the terrorists planned on overrunning a nearby village within the vicinity, the military saw that as an opportunity to surprise them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWhile Nigerian Army troops laid siege around the location, NAF aircraft were directed to the suspected location of the terrorists which was then attacked. Several terrorists were confirmed killed after the strike.\u201d<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scores of terrorists are currently on the run following offensive operation carried out by officers of the Nigerian Air Force in Kaduna and Niger States.
