The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), under Operation FASAN YAMMA, has recorded another major victory against armed bandits in Zamfara State, neutralising several terrorists in a coordinated air and ground assault on Makakkari Forest.
In a statement, the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame said that “intelligence Surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) had confirmed movements of over 400 bandits, planning to invade a farming community.”
According to him, the operation involved precision airstrikes and ground assaults, resulting in the deaths of several notorious kingpins and scores of their foot soldiers.
The synergy between air and land components made the operation exceptional.
