Airstrikes by the Air Components of Operations Hadin Kai and Whirl Punch in the Northeast and North Central respectively have neutralised terrorists and destroyed their structures, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said.

NAF spokesman Edward Gabkwet, in a statement on Sunday, said insurgents were neutralised on May 3, 2024 at Chinene, a location tucked inside the Mandara mountain area near Borno State.

Furthermore, NAF said terrorists hibernating in Allawa village, near Shiroro in Niger State, were neutralised the same day.
