The Director of NAF Public Relations, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, noting that the operation highlighted the Force’s precision and determination in combating insurgency.
According to him, the strikes were conducted on 3 September 2025 following credible intelligence and surveillance that exposed a newly identified terrorist enclave west of Zuwa in the Sambisa axis.
“The mission targeted hideouts accommodating fighters and commanders responsible for recent hostilities around Bitta. The strikes proved devastating, eliminating over 15 terrorists and destroying key structures critical to their operations,” Ejodame said.
He added that the success of the operation further underscored the NAF’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of Nigerians while supporting ground forces to dismantle terrorist networks.
“The Nigerian Air Force continues to stand as a symbol of vigilance, professionalism, and decisive air power in defence of national security. Every successful strike brings Nigeria one step closer to lasting peace,” he stressed.
