NAF Aircraft Bomb Enclave Of Bandits’ Kingpin Turji’s Weapon Supplier in Shinkafi

In sustained offensives against terrorists, aircraft of the Nigerian Airforce (NAF) have striken the enclave of notorious gun runner Mallam Ila at Manawa Village in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Sources confirmed that the gun runner was the major supplier of sophisticated weapons to the  notorious terrorist kingpin, Bello Turji, in Zamfara State.

According to the source, “the NAF aircraft under Operation Hadarin Daji carried out the strikes on the enclave of Mallam Ilu in the evening of 18 November 2022.

“Mallam Ila remains a high value target due to his closeness and association with terrorist leaders Bello Turji and Dan Bokoyo. Their foot soldiers have also been responsible for attacks in Shinkafi general area of Zamfara State as well as parts of Kaduna, Niger, Kebbi, and Sokoto States.

“After the airstrike on the location, multiple explosions were observed with huge fireballs, indicative of other high inflammable materials hidden in the location. Scores of terrorists were eliminated during the operation.”

Another source confirmed that Mallam Ila narrowly escaped but sustained critical injuries.

When contacted, the NAF Spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, confirmed the strikes and maintained that the military operations continued to curtail the excesses of bandits and terrorists  in the States.

“The NAF and other security agencies remain on track to seeing the ongoing counterterrorism effort to a conclusive end.

“We call on  Nigerians to continue supporting the security agencies with information on activities of criminal elements as solving the current security impasse requires the involvement of all,” Gabkwet added.
