In a significant blow to criminal activities in Zamfara State, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has confirmed the elimination of two notorious bandit kingpins during a precision airstrike.
The operation, carried out by NAF fighter jets, targeted hideouts in the state following credible intelligence on the location of the bandits. The strikes were part of ongoing efforts to curb banditry and restore peace in the region.
According to military sources, the deceased kingpins were instrumental in orchestrating numerous attacks, kidnappings, and other criminal activities that have plagued Zamfara State and its neighboring areas.
This latest success is seen as a morale booster for the Nigerian Armed Forces, which has intensified its crackdown on bandit networks under the directive of the federal government.
Further details regarding the operation, including the names of the kingpins and the specific areas targeted, are expected in an official statement from the Defense Headquarters.
The NAF assured citizens that it remains committed to neutralizing threats and ensuring the safety of Nigerians across all affected regions.
