In continuation of its sustained efforts to rid Kaduna State and its environs of armed bandits and other criminal elements, the Air Component of Operation THUNDER STRIKE has obliterated another camp and neutralized several armed bandits at the Kusasu Area of Kaduna State.

According to the Coordinator Defence Media Operations Defence Headquarters, Major General John Enenche in a press release made available to Africa Security Investigation online newspaper on the 7 December 2020, disclosed that the success was achieved through airstrikes executed yesterday, 6 December 2020, after Human Intelligence reports, corroborated by series of aerial surveillance missions, led to the identification of the camp of a bandits’ leader known as Alhaji Labi, an associate of Dogon Gede, a notorious bandits’ leader in Katsina State.





Enenche said, the Air Component dispatched an appropriate force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to attack the location. Overhead the target area, significant presence of the bandits, along with a large number of rustled cattle, was observed. The attack aircraft took turns in engaging the location, delivering devastating hits which destroyed the bandits’ structures, including their logistics storage facilities, which were seen engulfed in flames. Several armed bandits were also killed in the attack.




The Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies have remained resolute in the fight against banditry and other sundry crimes and will not relent until normalcy is restored to all troubled zones of the country.

They keep neutralizing these bandits but their activities seem to multiply day by day

Hope you didn't kill their
kidnapped victims join.

They way such operations are
usually carried out is to station
ground troops nearby who will
step in to mop up after the air force
bombardment, not to just bomb
and go.

All these incompetent commanders
is why all these wars are no ending.
Air force & army are refusing to work
together because their 'Chiefs' are
not on good terms with themselves &
Buhari is unaware.
