According to Ejodame, intelligence and surveillance operations had tracked unusual activity in the location, where about 45 insurgents were observed assembling. Many were seen arriving on motorcycles and bicycles from different directions.

“Acting on this credible intelligence, the Air Component launched precision strikes, eliminating several terrorists, while the flagged structure and other hostile assets were destroyed,” Ejodame said.
He noted that the operation disrupted the ability of the insurgents to regroup or mount attacks on nearby communities, stressing that the military remains committed to restoring peace in the North East.
The Air Force reiterated that counterterrorism operations will continue as part of broader efforts to stabilize the region.
