 NAF kills several bandits in convoy airstrikes


Several terrorists were killed when the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) bombed their convoy near Yarbuga in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State. 

According to NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the strikes were conducted on July 9, based on real-time intelligence indicating the movement of nearly 150 motorcycles, each carrying about two armed terrorists, in the area.

Ejodame said: “After positive identification confirming the hostile presence, NAF aircraft engaged the convoy with devastating accuracy.” 

He explained that survivors were seen fleeing on foot and on motorcycles as air assets maintained persistent surveillance and executed follow-up strikes, effectively disrupting the enemy’s withdrawal routes.

According to him, after the airstrikes, ground troops conducted a follow-up exploit mission to Yarbuga village on the morning of 10 July 2025. 

“At the scene, remains of scores of terrorists and their weapons were found in the area, along with several burnt motorcycles,” Ejodame said.
