A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jet has successfully bombed a terrorist logistics base in Yadi Forest, Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The base, owned by notorious terrorist kingpin Kadade Gurgu, was destroyed on Friday, September 27, 2024, following credible intelligence reports indicating a high presence of terrorists in the area.
According to Group Captain Kabiru Ali, Deputy Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, the operation was part of Operation Whirl Punch’s sustained efforts to combat terrorism in Kaduna State. Intelligence revealed that Kadade Gurgu’s base was providing shelter to other terrorist kingpins fleeing military operations in Sokoto and Zamfara States.
The NAF aircraft, supported by an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance platform, engaged the target, recording successful hits on the logistics facility, which was engulfed in flames with thick black smoke. Local informants confirmed the destruction of the base and the killing of several terrorists.
This operation demonstrates the Nigerian military’s commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring national security.
