Terrorist supply depots have been destroyed by the Nigerian Air Force air strikes in Marte, a significant blow to terrorist organizations in the region, demonstrating the military's commitment to combating terrorism.
The destruction of these depots disrupts the terrorists' ability to store and distribute essential resources, hindering their operational capacity
Director Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olusola F Akinboyewa disclosed this in a press statement in Monday, 4th Nov 2024 that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on 31 October 2024 executed a series of successful air interdictions targeting 3 significant enclaves of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Marte Local Government Area.
Air Commodore Akinboyewa noted that the precision strikes focused on known ISWAP strongholds in the villages of Tumbun Daribiyar, Jubularam, Buluwa, and Tumbu Karfe, marking a major effort in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria's Northeast.
He said an on-ground assessment confirmed that approximately 50 terrorists, including a high-ranking ISWAP commander known as Bashir Dauda, were neutralized in the operation. Additionally, an ISWAP supply depot in the Jubularam enclave, filled with a substantial cache of food and essential items like beans, millet, and rice, was destroyed, effectively severing a critical resource line for the terrorists.
"These successful air strikes, targeting personnel and logistics, underscore NAF’s ongoing commitment to supporting ground forces and enhancing joint efforts to decimate terrorist strongholds in the region." he stated
