NAF conducted precision airstrikes on Monday in the Yuwe axis of Sambisa Forest, targeting terrorist elements based on verified intelligence and surveillance data. The operation destroyed fortified structures and bunkers used by the insurgents, eliminating multiple terrorists and key logistics facilities. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information for the Nigerian Air Force, confirmed the successful mission in a statement issued Tuesday in Abuja. He said battle damage assessment confirmed the destruction of terrorist infrastructure and ongoing degradation of their networks. Ejodame attributed the success to sustained intelligence-driven operations under Operation HADIN KAI. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, was quoted as saying the NAF remains committed to relentless air operations until terrorist threats in the North-East are fully neutralised. Aneke reiterated that the NAF adheres strictly to rules of engagement and aims to minimise harm to civilians while protecting national security.
Air Marshal Sunday Aneke insists on zero civilian harm while conducting repeated airstrikes in a forest where civilian presence is nearly impossible to verify. The same operation claims to destroy bunkers and logistics hubs, yet no captured equipment or bodies have been publicly accounted for. If precision is the standard, then proof of targets should match the rhetoric of success. Without verifiable evidence, the narrative risks becoming its own casualty.
