The air component of Operation Whirl Punch successfully conducted an air strike along the Kwiga-Kampanin Doka axis in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing at least 30 terrorists and kidnappers.

The Director of Public Relations and Information of the Nigerian Air Force, AVM Edward Gabkwet, made this announcement in a statement released on Monday in Abuja.

The air strike was carried out based on intelligence received regarding the movement of criminals in the specified area.

The intelligence also linked the same syndicate to the ambush on troops at Kwanan Mutuwa on January 27, as well as various attacks and abductions of innocent civilians in Birnin Gwari.

Gabkwet explained that a thorough investigation revealed a convoy of about 15 motorcycles, each carrying at least two armed terrorists.

The terrorists were then tracked to a location where they gathered before being engaged and neutralized in a precision strike.

“The aftermath of the air strike revealed that several of the terrorists were eliminated as a result of the strike,” he stated.
