The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully neutralized a notorious terrorist kingpin, Mustapha Abdullahi, and five members of his gang in Kaduna. The operation was carried out by Special Forces from the 413 Force Protection Group on Saturday along Sabon-Birni road, Igabi Local Government Area.
According to the Director of NAF Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, the terrorists were on their way to carry out attacks and kidnap innocent citizens when they were engaged by the NAF team. The terrorists opened fire on the troops, but were met with superior firepower, resulting in their elimination.
Items recovered from the terrorists include five dane guns, a locally fabricated sub-machine gun, live ammunition, charms, lighters, SIM cards, and phone cases. The NAF has commended the troops and urged them to continue their efforts to safeguard lives and properties in the region.
