The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI (AC OPHK), has augmented its air operations in the North East, neutralising several terrorists and destroying their structures in Borno State
According to a statement issued by Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, precision strikes were executed on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, at approximately 10:50 am, subsequent to intelligence and surveillance confirming unusual movements at Bula Madibale in the Gezuwa general area.
Intelligence gathered through reconnaissance indicated a gathering of about 45 terrorists, with some arriving on motorcycles and bicycles from various directions to join the assembly. Two terrorist flags were observed hoisted at the location, emphasizing its role as a stronghold and rallying point. In response to this credible intelligence, the AC OPHK initiated a coordinated air interdiction.
The strikes achieved devastating impact, eliminating several terrorists at the gathering point, while the flagged structure and other hostile assets at the gathering point were destroyed. This operation underscores the NAF’s continued resolve to deny terrorists the freedom to regroup, reinforce, or mount further attacks on innocent communities. It also reassures Nigerians that the Armed Forces remain fully committed to restoring peace and stability, particularly in the North East.
