The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully executed a series of airstrikes, neutralizing over 50 ISWAP terrorists in the Marte Local Government Area. These precision strikes, carried out on October 31, 2024, targeted key strongholds in the villages of Tumbun Daribiyar, Jubularam, Buluwa, and Tumbu Karfe.
Key Outcomes of the Airstrikes:
- Neutralization of 50+ ISWAP fighters
- Elimination of high-ranking commander Bashir Dauda
- Destruction of key supply depot in Jubularam
- Disruption of terrorist resource lines
The destroyed supply depot in Jubularam was stocked with essential items like food, beans, millet, and rice, effectively severing a critical resource line for the terrorists. This operation is a significant milestone in the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria’s Northeast region.
The NAF’s commitment to supporting ground forces and enhancing joint efforts to dismantle terrorist strongholds has been unwavering. In recent years, Nigeria has contended with ongoing extremist attacks and intercommunal violence between the majority Muslim Fulani herdsmen and the mostly Christian Hausa farming community.
