No fewer than 100 terrorists from the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād (JAS) Boko Haram faction, have been naturalized in the long week of coordinated strikes by the Nigerian Airforce in the fringes of Gwoza Local Government Area, a counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama reports.
The precise intelligence-led airstrikes conducted by the Air Component, under OPERATION WARUN 3, between July 9 and 11, 2023, in Grazah and Wa-Jahode, in the fringes of the Mandara Mountains resulted in the obliteration of the terrorists.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a Counter-insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad region that the first airstrikes were carried out in Grazah, a location administered by the Boko Haram terrorists, which also served as their meeting point.
Ground assessment by sources revealed that the Super Tukano Aircraft scores an accurate hit which resulted in the elimination of a number of the Boko Haram unit commanders and high-value fighters, while many more who escaped were seriously injured.
Consequently, on June 11, the Air Component carried out a follow-up strikes in Wa-Jahode, which has been confirmed very successful as many other terrorists were neutralized with others said to be in critical condition.
