The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft under Operation Hadin Kai have continued their onslaught on terrorists and insurgent targets on islands and localities around Lake Chad.
The NAF spokesman, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Saturday stated that the operation was successfully executed following the credible information received on the presence of the bandits in the area
According to him, “on receiving credible Intelligence on 20 October 2021 this year that about 20 boats with suspected Boko Haram /Islamic of West African Province ISWAP terrorists were converging for a meeting on an Island in the Tumbuns on the Lake Chad and at Malam Fatori, three NAF aircraft under Operation Hadin Kai were scrambled to carry out strikes on the targets
“Reaching overhead the targets, the pilots observed a gathering of about 20 boats consisting of 5-7 suspected terrorists in each boat
“Using a mix of bombs and rockets, the three aircraft carried out series of strikes and scored devastating hits on the targets leaving some survivors scrambling for their lives.”
The NAF spokesman pointed out that the operation by the air component of Operation Hadin Kai yet again confirmed the high concentration of terrorist and insurgent elements hibernating in the Lake Chad general area.
He, however, assured that working alongside the Army and Naval components as well as other security agencies under Operation HADIN KAI, the Air Component would continue to sustain its operation until the area was rid of all terrorists and insurgents.
