The Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF Headquarters, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to Adesanya, Fitdasi was reported to have been representing her husband in a coordinating meeting with other insurgents at the location of the airstrikes.

He said NAF had carried out aerial attacks on large number of insurgents at Durwawa on Oct. 19.

“The airstrike also succeeded in neutralising most of the insurgents with a few of them fleeing the location,” he said.

Adesanya said further that efforts were ongoing to confirm the reported killing of Shekau’s wife, alongside other insurgents.
