The Nigerian Air Force has provided decisive close air support and conducted precision air interdiction operations in the Azir and Musarram areas of Borno state, eliminating several terrorist elements and disrupting planned attacks through coordinated air–ground operations in support of troops in contact.
The successful operations, conducted on 15 and 16 January 2026, underscore the NAF’s sustained commitment to timely, intelligence-led air support and seamless coordination with ground forces to deny terrorists freedom of action while protecting both troops and civilian populations.
A statement by the director of public relations and information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, indicates that the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke reaffirmed the Nigerian Air Force’s unwavering resolve to provide prompt and effective air support to ground forces.
Air Marshal Aneke says the latest air operations once again demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated air-to-ground collaboration, reinforcing the Nigerian Armed Forces' ongoing efforts to degrade terrorist capabilities and stabilise affected areas across the country.
