Abuja, Sept. 20, 2025 – The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has killed more than 25 terrorists in a coordinated night air operation at Bula in Yobe and Banki axis of Borno.
Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
He said the operations were conducted on Sept. 18 following intelligence from ground troops.
Ejodame said a NAF strike aircraft tracked terrorist movements and identified multiple groups north of Banki, while real-time updates were relayed to ground forces and base operations, enabling synchronised action.
“The strike aircraft engaged the terrorists in three successive precision strikes on their movement routes and assembly areas, effectively neutralising more than 25 fighters.
“Post-strike surveillance confirmed ground forces remained in defensive positions, with no further threats observed,” he said.
Ejodame said the operation underscored decisive support of NAF to ground troops, denial of terrorist freedom of action, and unwavering commitment to securing Nigeria’s North-East.
