NAF airstrikes eliminate scores of terrorists in Borno
NAF says the air operations struck a significant blow to planned terrorist activities, taking out multiple fighters and demolishing their motorcycles.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), says the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, on October 25, eliminated scores of Boko Haram terrorists at two locations in Bula Marwa in Borno.
This is contained in a statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, on Monday in Abuja.
Akinboyewa said the NAF, having identified Bula Marwa as a high-level meeting site for Boko Haram’s notorious figures, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions further confirmed heightened terrorist activity.
He said that the IRS revealed an influx of motorcycles and gatherings of combatants across the site.
According to him, NAF fighter jets were dispatched to the location for an air interdiction mission.
“On arrival, ISR footage captured suspected terrorists assembling at a rendezvous point on 12 motorcycles.
“The motorcycles were then traced to a primary meeting location where additional terrorists had been waiting.
“Accordingly, the first airstrike was executed, effectively engaging the target area.
“Moments later, ISR aircraft loitering in the vicinity observed several terrorists returning to assess the damage and evacuate their wounded combatants.
“In response, NAF air assets conducted follow-up strikes, neutralising additional terrorists,” he said.
Akinboyewa said that an additional ISR was conducted in the area the same day, identifying another group of terrorists gathering under a large tree at a second meeting site.
He said that the NAF air assets launched a precision airstrike on the location, achieving a direct hit and neutralising numerous terrorists.
According to him, these air operations struck a significant blow to planned terrorist activities, taking out multiple fighters and demolishing their motorcycles, thereby crippling their ability to launch ambushes or other hostile actions.
“This impactful strike highlights the ongoing contributions of the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI to ridding northeastern Nigeria of terrorist activities.
“The NAF remains committed to executing its mission with relentless precision, whether in joint or independent operations, to bring an end to terrorism as well as all other threats to the sovereignty and security of our Great Nation,” he added.

Labour strikes cripple activities – Labour strikes cripple activities…
Labour strikes cripple activities – Economic activities were paralysed…
Economic activities were paralysed in Abuja, Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Ebonyi states on Monday as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) embarked on a one-week warning strike over the non-implementation of the ₦70,000 minimum wage.
In Abuja, teachers expressed frustration with the Federal Capital Territory’s (FCT) area councils for failing to comply with the minimum wage directive.
The labour action caused widespread disruption to public services across the nation’s capital.
Kaduna state saw ministries and agencies grind to a halt despite the government’s claims of having commenced minimum wage payments in October, barring consequential adjustments.
“We have started implementation,” said a Kaduna State official.
However, workers dismissed these claims as insufficient.
In Ebonyi, Governor Francis Nwifuru responded to the industrial action by announcing a 72-hour ultimatum for workers to resume or face dismissal.
He stated that the state government had approved and started implementing a ₦75,000 minimum wage.
However, striking workers described the announcement as “mere rhetoric” lacking actionable backing.
Nasarawa also witnessed widespread disruption, with organised labour accusing state authorities of failing to meet the October and November implementation deadlines.
The strike highlights escalating tensions between labour unions and state governments over wage disparities. Union leaders have vowed to sustain their protest until their demands are met.
