NAF Aircraft Strikes Terrorists’ Meeting At Kurebe, Niger State, Killing Scores

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft over the weekend struck a terrorists meeting at Kurebe in Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State, Northcentral Nigeria.

Sources said that the NAF aircraft was deployed after intelligence revealed that the terrorists had assembled for an important meeting hosted by Aminu Duniya, a Boko Haram terrorist commander.

The sources said Aminu Duniya had invited the terrorists to his enclave at Kurebe to the meeting which obviously attracted numerous terrorists who came in large numbers on their motorbikes.

Though sources revealed that the airstrike was successful and resulted in the death of many terrorists, it remains unclear if Aminu Duniya was also killed in the strike.

According to a source, “Kurebe is a known terrorists haven as the local inhabitants of Kurebe have since vacated the villages in and around the area after the terrorists drove them away in 2021.

“The strike at Kurebe came barely hours after a coordinated joint air and ground operations, neutralized several terrorists operating around Damba – Galbi axis in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The activities of the terrorists continued to make life unbearable to locals in the area.

“So, when intelligence had revealed that the terrorists planned on overruning a nearby village within the vicinity, the military saw that as an opportunity to surprise them.

“While NA troops laid siege around the location, NAF aircraft were directed to the suspected location of the terrorists which was then attacked. Several terrorists were confirmed killed after the strike.”
