Reports obtained from reliable sources revealed that the precision air strikes resulted in the likely elimination and destruction of key bandits leaders, their foot soldiers as well as their properties.
Specifically, there are strong indications that the locations of bandit kingpin Bello Guda Turji, his subordinate commander Bello Buzu along and their cohorts operating within Sokoto and some parts of Zamfara State may have been struck by Nigerian Air Force aircraft in the strikes carried out earlier today.
Local sources have also confirmed that bodies of neutralized bandits were seen all over the camps just as the bandits' means of economic sustenance were destroyed.
Fleeing bandits were also trailed and neutralized.
The successes being recorded especially through air strikes by NAF aircraft in the North West as well as in the North East Theatres of Operation is indicative that the new strategies adopted by the Armed Forces of Nigeria is beginning to yield the requisite results.
Indeed despite the lost of a senior military officer and some soldiers, it is clear that the military is living up to its promise to rid the north and the nation of all criminal elements and their activities.
