  • 3 motorcycles

Aerial Strikes on Terrorist Hideouts

The Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma executed precise airstrikes on terrorist camps in Shinkafi LGA between December 30, 2024, and January 5, 2025. These strikes targeted gatherings led by terrorist leaders Bello Turji and Ibrahim Chumo, causing significant casualties and destroying hideouts.
