The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Monday said that its Air Component under OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY) Sector 3 has conducted multiple coordinated missions across Kakihun, Oke-ode, Babanla and surrounding areas of Kwara State, striking bandits who have been unleashing attacks on innocent civilians in the area.
According to a statement by NAF Spokesperson, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, “reconnaissance and close air support operations were executed to deter threats, while hostile elements sighted east of Babanla were decisively engaged.
“Concurrent surveillance flights also covered key settlements and military positions, gathering critical intelligence to support ground forces.”
Air Commodore Ejodame noted in the statement that “these missions reaffirm NAF’s commitment to protecting troops and civilians, maintaining air superiority, and sustaining pressure on hostile actors. All operations were completed successfully.
“The NAF assures Nigerians of its unwavering resolve to defend the nation’s territorial integrity and safeguard communities against threats. Citizens are encouraged to remain confident, vigilant, and supportive of the Armed Forces as decisive actions continue to restore lasting peace and security across the country.”
