22 terrorists allegedly killed by a Nigerian Air Force airstrike in the Katsina State local government areas of Batsari and Jibia belonged to the late bandits’ leader, Alhaji Abdulkareen Lawal, also known as Abdulkareen Boss.
According to Platinum Times Nigeria, Abdulkareem Boss and some of his foot men were killed at Ruga Forest in Katsina State a few weeks ago by NAF airstrikes.
Additionally, it was claimed that the late Abdulkareem Boss was responsible for multiple other atrocities, including the murder of the Dutsin-ma Police Area Commander on July 5, 2022.
However, Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD)’s air component carried out NAF strikes at Batsari and Sola Poi II after receiving reliable evidence that the terrorists were behind a number of kidnappings and violent attacks on various communities in the state’s Kankara LGA.
The insider also revealed that the air component of OPHD carried out waves of air interdiction missions, killing multiple terrorists and destroying their facilities and hideouts, following days of precise planning and coordination.
Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, a spokesman for the NAF, verified the report but would not provide any information.
