Air task components of Operation Hadin Kai had killed dozens of suspected Boko Haram/ ISWAP fighters in their enclaves in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
VOP news gathered that the Airforce conducted the operations between Christmas Eve and Tuesday, which neutralised an unspecified number of insurgents in Sheutari and Mantari in Lawanti/Mallam Mastari/ Abbaram Ward of Bama council.
VOP news also gathered that these two communities, Sheutari and Mantari, are currently under a deadly group as part of Sambisa forests.
Those who were hit by the airstrikes were top fighters and many of the escapees left with air bombardment wounds.
Several others were wounded while the surviving terrorists were seen scampering for safety into the thick trees in different directions.
The damaging air strikes have resulted in the degradation of the capabilities of the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād within the Sambisa forest.
