NAF Wipes Out ISWAP Terrorists, Bandits In Borno, Kwara, Katsina, Zamfara, And Kaduna

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its nationwide counterterrorism and counter-banditry operations, executing a series of precision airstrikes that have neutralized Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists and destroyed multiple bandit enclaves across several states.

According to a statement issued by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the coordinated air missions eliminated ISWAP fighters in Mallam Fatori and Shuwaram, Borno State, while similar strikes decimated bandit hideouts in Garin Dandi and Chigogo, Kwara State, as well as Zango Hill in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The statement added that the operations also extended to parts of Zamfara and Kaduna States, marking significant progress in the ongoing military efforts under Operation HADIN KAI and Operation FANSAN YAMMA. These joint operations, Ejodame noted, represent a decisive phase in the fight against terrorist and criminal networks across Nigeria’s northern theatres.

The Nigerian Air Force emphasized that the success of these precision missions demonstrates the renewed operational momentum directed by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke.

“Each mission reaffirms NAF’s resolve to employ smarter, intelligence-driven airpower capable of delivering purposeful lethality against insurgents and criminals, while safeguarding the lives and property of Nigerians,” the statement read.

The Nigerian Air Force reiterated its commitment to sustaining the offensive until terrorism and banditry are completely eradicated, ensuring lasting peace and stability in the affected regions.

THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh. Abdullahi Kuku and Alh. Usman Ode, a one time contender to the exalted throne of Osu, as both were on ground. Typical of traditional tussles, in...

Memo to His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi A. Sule By Murtala Adogi Mohammed Subject: Strategic Recommendations for Nasarawa State’s Development Your Excellency, I commend your proactive decision to dissolve the Executive Council as part of efforts to reposition Nasarawa State for greater progress. This is an excellent opportunity to realign the state’s development priorities and governance structures. With the expiration of the Nasarawa Economic Development Strategy (NEDS) in 2023, it is critical to establish a new development framework before appointing new commissioners.  I recommend setting up a Nasarawa State Development Council to review NEDS I and fast-track the development of NEDS II. This will guide commissioners in creating sectoral plans aligned with the state’s vision. Here are some quick actionable steps: 1. Develop NEDS II Create a four-year strategic plan focusing on youth and gender-responsive initiatives, tackling unemployment, education, healthcare, ...
