Scores of Terrorists Killed as NAF Destroys Niger Bandits’ Arms Depot

Airstrikes conducted by the Air Component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA on 16 November 2024 have successfully neutralized numerous terrorists and obliterated a critical arms depot and residence of notorious kingpin, Mallam Saleh, a loyalist of Dogo Gide, in Palele, Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.

Saleh’s reign of terror had plagued vulnerable communities in Shiroro, with attacks, abductions, and extortion leaving a trail of fear. However, the Air Component of Operation FANSAN YAMMA had been tracking his movements, gathering crucial intel to dismantle his operations.

As NAF aircraft swooped in, terrorists on motorcycles were spotted in the target area. With swift and precise action, the NAF assets unleashed devastating strikes, obliterating the weapons cache and dealing a crushing blow to the terrorists. A secondary explosion confirmed the destruction of the munitions, crippling Saleh’s capabilities.

This bold operation is part of the NAF’s logistics strangulation strategy, aimed at decimating terrorist strongholds and restoring peace to the region. Collaborating with surface forces, the NAF will maintain dominance through constant patrols, situational awareness, and targeted interdictions.The impact of this mission will be significant, degrading the terrorists’ operational capabilities and protecting innocent lives.
