The Nigerian Military continues to record significant successes against armed bandits in the North West as Nigerian Airforce fighter jets have, again, destroyed another major armed bandits' camp and killed several bandits during an intensive air operation in Doumbourou Forest in Zamfara State.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche on 25 July 2020.
According to the Coordinator, "Air interdiction missions being conducted by the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI have yielded more positive results with the destruction of a new camp belonging to the armed gang headed by the bandit leader known as “Dangote" in the Doumborou Forest area of Zamfara State".
" The air-strike, which also resulted in the killing of several armed bandits, was executed on 23 July 2020 after Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports as well as series of confirmatory aerial surveillance missions established that members of the gang, along with their logistics items, motorcycles and hundreds of rustled livestock, had relocated from their erstwhile position to new area by a rocky high ground within the Forest".
"The Air Component therefore dispatched an enhanced force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to attack the location. The attack aircraft engaged the target area scoring accurate hits and taking out some of the bandits. Many others, who were seen trying to flee the location in disarray, were mopped-up in follow-on attacks".
