NAF Kills Dozens Of Terrorists In Borno Airstrikes
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI (AC OPHK), has intensified its counterterrorism operations in the North East, killing scores of terrorists and destroying their hideouts in Borno State.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, Headquarters NAF, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, noting that the precision strikes were carried out on September 17, 2025, at about 10:50 am.
According to him, the operation followed intelligence and surveillance which confirmed unusual movements at Bula Madibale in the Gezuwa general area.
Ejodame said reconnaissance revealed a gathering of about 45 terrorists, with some arriving on motorcycles and bicycles from different directions to join the assembly.
“Two terrorist flags were observed hoisted at the location, underscoring its use as a stronghold and rallying point. Acting on this credible intelligence, the AC OPHK launched a coordinated air interdiction,” Ejodame stated.
The troops killed several terrorists while the flagged structure and other hostile assets were destroyed.
Ejodame added that the operation demonstrated NAF’s determination to deny terrorists the ability to regroup, reinforce or launch attacks on civilian communities.
“This operation underscores the NAF’s continued resolve to restore peace and stability, particularly in the North East, and reassures Nigerians that the Armed Forces remain fully committed to the safety of innocent citizens,” he said.
