The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has disclosed that its air component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA has undertaken multiple coordinated missions targeting hostile elements in parts of Kwara State, as stated by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, in a statement released on Monday in Abuja.
Ejodame disclosed that the operations carried out on Sept. 28 spanned Kakihun, Oke-Ode, Babanla, and surrounding areas. He explained that reconnaissance and close air support missions were implemented to deter threats, while hostile elements east of Babanla were decisively confronted.
He added that concurrent surveillance flights monitored key settlements and military positions, gathering intelligence in support of ground troops.
“The missions reaffirm NAF’s commitment to protecting troops and civilians, maintaining air superiority and sustaining pressure on hostile actors.
“All operations were completed successfully, and citizens are encouraged to remain confident, vigilant and supportive of the Armed Forces as decisive actions continue to restore lasting peace and security,” he said.
