This information was disclosed in a statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, on Monday in Abuja.

Akinboyewa stated that on November 1, the NAF executed a series of air interdiction operations targeting terrorist positions deep within the Alawa Forest in the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.

He emphasized that this mission is part of ongoing efforts to secure power infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted progress in restoring electricity to affected areas.

According to him, the airstrike was conducted following a series of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that confirmed the presence of terrorist fighters converging to disrupt power restoration activities.

The air component, acting swiftly on the intelligence gathered, successfully planned and executed the airstrike to neutralise the threat.

“Overhead the target area, NAF crews observed and engaged the terrorists, neutralising several fighters and their logistics with precise firepower,” Akinboyewa reported.

In addition to these interdictions, the NAF has intensified armed reconnaissance along critical power lines from Shiroro Lake to Damba, maintaining airspace dominance to prevent any potential terrorist interference in the restoration efforts.

“This sustained mission underscores NAF’s commitment to collaborate with other security agencies in protecting vital infrastructure and ensuring the swift and full restoration of essential services for Kaduna and neighboring states,” he added. (NAN)
