Edward Gabkwet, spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force, said in a statement that the “successful airstrikes” targeted the enclaves of suspected bandits in one of the forests in the Igabi local government area, noting that the hideouts were destroyed.
Citing the battle damage assessment footage, the statement said the suspected bandits were observed, freely loitering around the forest at a compound with zinc-roofed structures.
One of the airstrikes was carried out on Friday, with the logistics base of the suspected bandits destroyed. Likewise, on Saturday, another round of airstrikes inside the Malum Forest, also in the Igabi local government area, “recorded positive outcomes,” the statement added.
